Ingredients
- 1 large gluten-free baguette
- 250 grams cherry tomatoes
- 200 grams mozzarella cheese
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
- 10 leaves fresh basil leaves
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 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 12 slices, approximately 1/2 inch thick each.
Step 3
Arrange the slices on a baking sheet and brush each side lightly with olive oil, using a total of 1 tablespoon for the entire batch.
Step 4
Place the slices in the preheated oven and lightly toast for about 5 minutes, or until they are slightly crispy.
Step 5
While the baguette slices are toasting, cut the cherry tomatoes in half and place them in a mixing bowl.
Step 6
Add 1 tablespoon of olive oil, balsamic vinegar, salt, black pepper, and dried oregano to the tomatoes. Mix well to combine.
Step 7
Slice the mozzarella cheese into thin pieces that are roughly the size of the baguette slices. Aim for 12 slices to match each bread piece.
Step 8
Once the baguette slices are toasted, remove them from the oven.
Step 9
Top each baguette slice with a piece of mozzarella cheese and a generous spoonful of the tomato mixture.
Step 10
Return the topped baguette slices to the oven and bake for an additional 5-6 minutes, or until the cheese is fully melted.
Step 11
Once baked, remove from the oven and top each slice with a fresh basil leaf.
Step 12
Serve immediately while warm as an appetizer or snack.
