Time 25m

Yield 15

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 large French baguette (15 inches long), sliced 1/2-inch thick
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
sea salt to taste
5 roma (plum) tomatoes, sliced
1 ΒΌ pounds fresh mozzarella cheese, sliced
1 bunch fresh basil, leaves removed and coarsely chopped
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
ground black pepper to taste

Steps:

  • Arrange slices of baguette onto a baking sheet and brush both sides of each slice with 2 tablespoons olive oil. Sprinkle with sea salt.
  • Toast the bread in the preheated oven until lightly golden brown and crisp, about 5 minutes. Flip the bread slices over and top each slice with a slice of tomato and a slice of mozzarella cheese. Sprinkle with salt.
