Ingredients

• 1 loaf Gluten-free baguette
• 2 cups Cherry tomatoes
• 8 ounces Mozzarella cheese
• 10 leaves Fresh basil leaves
• 2 cloves Garlic cloves
• 4 tablespoons Extra virgin olive oil
• 1 tablespoon Balsamic vinegar
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

Step 2

Slice the gluten-free baguette into approximately 1/2-inch thick slices. You should get around 12 slices.

Step 3

Place the slices on a baking sheet and brush each side with 2 tablespoons of the olive oil.

Step 4

Bake in the preheated oven for about 8-10 minutes, or until they are golden and crispy. Remove from the oven and allow to cool slightly.

Step 5

While the bread is toasting, prepare the topping. Dice the cherry tomatoes into small pieces and place them into a medium bowl.

Step 6

Finely chop the fresh basil leaves and add them to the tomatoes.

Step 7

Cut the mozzarella cheese into small cubes and add them to the tomato mixture.

Step 8

Mince the garlic cloves and add to the mixture.

Step 9

Drizzle the remaining 2 tablespoons of olive oil and the balsamic vinegar over the tomato mixture. Add the salt and pepper. Gently toss everything together until well combined.

Step 10

Once the bread is ready, top each slice with a generous amount of the tomato and cheese mixture.

Step 11

Optionally, garnish with extra basil leaves for presentation. Serve immediately for the best taste and texture.
