Hello my dears, tonight before dinner, I’m having tomato and mozzarella toast baked in the oven.

Sure, here’s a simple and delicious recipe for baked tomato and mozzarella toast. It’s quick to prepare and perfect as a small appetizer. 🍅🧀

Recipe: Baked Tomato and Mozzarella Toast This recipe is for 2 people or 4 slices of toast. 📋 Ingredients Quantity Ingredient Notes 4 slices of bread Ciabatta, baguette slices, or thickly sliced ​​toast (preferably sourdough) 1-2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil For drizzling 2-3 Roma tomatoes Or a handful of cherry tomatoes, diced 125g mozzarella Ideally buffalo mozzarella or a good-sized ball of cheese, well drained 1 clove of garlic Fresh, optional A few basil leaves Fresh, for garnish A pinch of salt & pepper Optional Balsamic glaze To finish after baking 🔪

Preparation 1. Prepare and Toast (Optional) Preheat the oven to 200°C (390°F) using the conventional oven setting (top and bottom heat) or the grill setting. Cut the mozzarella into small pieces and the tomatoes into cubes. Let both drain briefly in a sieve so the bread doesn’t become too soggy. Tip: If you prefer crispier bread, drizzle it lightly with olive oil and pre-bake it for 3–5 minutes until lightly golden brown. 2. Top Optionally, rub the lightly toasted or raw bread slices with a halved garlic clove for a subtle garlic flavor.

Distribute the diced tomatoes evenly over the four bread slices. Season the tomatoes lightly with salt and pepper. Arrange the mozzarella pieces generously over the tomatoes. Drizzle the topped breads with a little olive oil. 3.

Baking: Place the sandwiches on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake for approximately 7–10 minutes, or until the mozzarella is completely melted, lightly golden brown, and bubbly. 4. Serving: Remove the toasts from the oven. Garnish immediately with fresh basil leaves (whole or sliced). For an extra kick, drizzle with a little balsamic glaze. Enjoy while still warm! Bon appétit!
