Ingredients
- 1 Fresh Italian Baguette
- 12 Whole Sun Dried Tomatoes (jarred)
- ½ Cup Freshly Chopped Basil
- 1 tsp. Freshly Minced Garlic
- 1 Cup Olive Oil
- Salt ((to taste))
- Freshly Cracked Black Pepper ((to taste))
- Balsalmic Glaze ((for drizzling))
Instructions
- Slice your baguette into ½" slices. (This recipe yields about 12 slices.) Using a brush, brush both sides of your bread with olive oil and then season each slice lightly with salt. Bake at 400°F for 10 minutes flipping bread halfway through.
- While in the oven, chop your sun dried tomatoes finely and dice your mozzarella into small cubes. Add to small bowl.
- Chop your basil into a chiffonade (small ribbons) and mince your garlic. Add to bowl.
- Add 3 tablespoon olive oil and season with salt and pepper to your liking.
- Remove bread from oven and add 1-2 tablespoon of tomato basil topping to each slice. Place back in the oven and BROIL until the mozzarella JUST begins to melt. This should only take a few minutes so keep a close eye!
- Drizzle balsamic glaze over each slice and serve warm.
Recipe Notes
Use fresh bread and fresh mozzarella cheese (it melts better!).
