Baked Caprese Crostini

Step 1
Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C).

Step 2
Cut baguette into 30 slices. Brush slices on both sides with 2 tablespoons olive oil. Arrange on a baking sheet and sprinkle with salt.

Step 3
Toast bread in the preheated oven until light golden brown and crisp, about 5 minutes.

Step 4
While bread is toasting, cut each tomato into six slices.

Step 5
Remove bread from the oven and flip slices. Top each slice with tomato and mozzarella; sprinkle with salt.

Step 6
Return to the oven and bake until tomato is warmed through and mozzarella is melted, about 5 minutes.

Step 7
Transfer crostini to a serving platter and sprinkle with basil. Drizzle with remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil and sprinkle lightly with sea salt and black pepper.
