This mozzarella toast is a good way to use up some leftover Italian bread — or any bread for that matter. Fresh mozzarella melted over vine-ripe tomatoes and basil, then drizzled with extra-virgin olive oil and balsamic vinegar. Yummy! Pair this with a nice glass of red wine, and you’ll be in heaven! Enjoy with a nice salad or a cup of soup; makes a lovely lunch or afternoon snack.
Ingredients
- 4 slices Italian bread
- 4 slices ripe tomato
- 4 leaves fresh basil
- 4 slices fresh mozzarella cheese
- 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil, divided
- 2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar, divided
Directions
Step 1
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Lay 4 slices of Italian bread out on the prepared baking sheet; top each piece of bread with a tomato slice, a basil leaf, and a slice of mozzarella cheese.
Step 2
Bake in the preheated oven until the cheese has melted, about 7 minutes. Drizzle each sandwich with 1/2 tablespoon of olive oil and balsamic vinegar.
