Ingredients
- 16-24 lices Italian bread or baguette sliced ½-1 inch thick, ends removed
- 2 tablespoons + 1 teaspoon olive oil divided
- 1 cup roma tomatoes about 1 ½ - 2 tomatoes, finely diced
- 2 tablespoons fresh basil leaves chopped
- ¼ cup red onion minced
- 1-3 cloves garlic minced
- ¼ teaspoon sea salt
- ⅛ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 3 tablespoons fresh mozzarella cheese diced into small cubes
- Balsamic reduction for drizzling I used the Alessi Premium Balsamic Reduction
Instructions
- Preheat oven to BROIL. Place sliced bread on a tin foil covered baking sheet. Broil until bread slices are golden brown on both sides.
- Place bread on serving platter and brush bread with oil. More oil may be needed to ensure all slices are covered.
- Mix together the tomatoes, chopped basil, red onion, garlic, salt, pepper, and remaining 1 teaspoon of olive oil.
- Spoon the tomato mixture over the toasted bread slices (about ½ tablespoon per bread slice). Top with mozzarella cheese, a drizzle of the balsamic reduction and garnish with more basil leaves if desired and serve.
Notes
- Experiment with different cheeses and try these with parmesan, crumbled feta, or even bold blue cheese for a unique twist.
- For the best bite-sized experience, be sure to finely chop your ingredients. Keeping everything small ensures that each topping stays perfectly balanced on the crispy bread, making every bite as delicious as the last!
- You can prepare the tomato mixture and dice the cheese ahead of time. Store them separately in the refrigerator for up to two days to keep everything fresh. Toast the bread on the day you plan to serve. Assemble everything just before serving to prevent the bread from getting soggy and ensure the perfect crunch in every bite!
