Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

Slice the baguette or crusty bread diagonally into 1-inch thick slices. Arrange the slices on a baking sheet.

Step 3

Brush each slice of bread with olive oil on one side and place them in the oven for 5 minutes to lightly toast.

While the bread is toasting, finely chop the garlic cloves and cherry tomatoes. Place the chopped tomatoes in a bowl and toss them with the minced garlic, salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes (if using).

Step 5

Remove the bread slices from the oven and evenly spread the tomato mixture on the toasted side of each slice.

Step 6

Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese generously over the tomato topping, followed by a light sprinkle of grated Parmesan cheese.

Step 7

Place the bread back in the oven and bake for 5-7 minutes, or until the cheese is fully melted and bubbly.
