Ingredients
- 4 Roma tomatoes seeds scooped out, diced
- 8 ounces mozzarella cheese diced
- fresh basil leaves chopped
- 1 baguette sliced
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- salt to taste
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
Instructions
- Slice a baguette into ¾-inch slices.
- Preheat a large skillet over medium heat. Melt 1 tbsp butter and toast the bread until golden color on both sides. When done, just set aside to cool off.
- Cut the tomatoes in halves, and using a spoon, scoop out the seeds with the liquid and discard. Then dice the tomatoes.
- Dice mozzarella cheese, basil, and mix it together with chopped tomatoes.
- Add 1 tbsp olive oil, pinch of salt and mix again.
- Transfer the toasted bread to the serving plate and top with tomato/mozzarella/basil mixture.
- Drizzle with balsamic glaze and serve.
Notes
- Tomatoes. Tomatoes have lots of liquid inside. To make sure your filing is not watery, scoop out the inside flesh with seeds before dicing.
- Bread. I like to use fresh baguette that’s still soft inside with delicious outside crust.
- How to store. You can refrigerate the filling in an air-tight container for up to 3 days.
