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.
