Tomato & Mozarella French Bread Slices

My new favorite side dish. SO good. You gotta be fast when you serve these, they disappear quickly.

You will need:
  • french bread (I buy the thin bagette style loaf at Stater Bros, you can use whatever you like)
  • tomatoes, sliced
  • mozarella cheese, sliced
  • olive oil
  • fresh basil, finely chopped
  • balsamic vinegar

In a small bowl, combine some olive oil, balsamic vinegar, and basil. I don't measure, I eyeball it. I usually do 2 parts of olive oil to 1 part balsamic vinegar (I'm not huge on vinegar, so this amount gives it just enough flavor).

Slice up your french bread and lay it out on a cookie sheet. Put a slice of mozarella cheese, followed by a slice of tomato on top of each piece of bread. Then drizzle (or brush with a pastry brush) the oil mixture on top. Stick the cookie sheet in the broiler for about 3-5 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and slightly browning.
