Ingredients

• 1 loaf gluten-free baguette or bread
• 250 grams cherry tomatoes
• 150 grams fresh mozzarella cheese
• 20 grams fresh basil leaves
• 3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
• 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
• 2 cloves garlic
• 0.5 teaspoon sea salt
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

Step 2

Slice the gluten-free baguette or bread into 1/2-inch thick slices. You should have about 12 slices.

Step 3

Peel the garlic cloves and cut each in half. Rub the cut side of the garlic on each side of the baguette slices to infuse flavor.

Step 4

Place the baguette slices on a baking sheet and lightly brush each slice with 1 tablespoon of olive oil.

Step 5

Toast the bread slices in the preheated oven for about 5 minutes, or until they are golden brown and crisp. Remove from oven and set aside to cool.

Step 6

While the bread is toasting, wash and dice cherry tomatoes into quarters and transfer them to a mixing bowl.

Step 7

Dice the fresh mozzarella into small cubes and add it to the tomatoes.

Step 8

Chiffonade or finely chop the basil leaves and mix them with the tomato and mozzarella mixture.

Step 9

Add 2 tablespoons of olive oil and 1 tablespoon of balsamic vinegar to the mixture, along with sea salt and black pepper. Toss gently to combine.

Step 10

Spoon the tomato and mozzarella mixture generously onto each toasted bread slice.

Step 11

Garnish with additional basil leaves, if desired, and serve immediately.
