Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 loaf Baguette
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 cloves Garlic (minced)
- 1 cup Cherry tomatoes (halved)
- 1 cup Shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1 teaspoon Dried Italian seasoning
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 6 leaves Fresh basil leaves (optional)
- 0.25 teaspoon Red pepper flakes (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Slice the baguette diagonally into 1/2-inch thick pieces to create about 8-12 slices, depending on the size of your baguette.
Brush one side of the baguette slices with olive oil and place them oiled side up on the prepared baking sheet.
In a small bowl, mix the minced garlic with the remaining olive oil. Brush this mixture evenly over the oiled side of the baguette slices.
Top each slice with halved cherry tomatoes, cut side up. Sprinkle with shredded mozzarella cheese.
Season the slices with Italian seasoning, salt, and black pepper to taste. If desired, sprinkle with red pepper flakes for a bit of heat.
Bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly and the edges of the baguette slices are golden brown.
Remove from the oven and garnish with fresh basil leaves if desired.
Serve warm and enjoy your Tomato Baguette Pizzas as a snack, appetizer, or light meal.
