Method

Preparation of Topping

  1. 1

    Prepare the Tomato Mixture

    Dice the tomatoes into small pieces and place them in a mixing bowl.

  2. 2

    Add Basil and Seasoning

    Chop the fresh basil leaves and add to the bowl with tomatoes. Add balsamic vinegar, salt, and black pepper. Mix gently to combine.

  3. 3

    Add Mozzarella

    Chop or tear the mozzarella cheese into small pieces and gently fold it into the tomato and basil mixture.

Preparation of Bread

  1. 4

    Slice the Bread

    Slice the baguette or Italian bread into 1/2 inch thick slices.

  2. 5

    Toast the Bread

    Brush one side of each slice with olive oil. Heat a skillet or grill pan over medium heat and toast the slices, oiled side down, until golden brown, about 2-3 minutes.

Assembly

    Top the Toasts

    Remove the toasted bread from the skillet. Spoon the tomato, basil, and mozzarella mixture generously on top of each slice of bread.
