Ingredients

4 servings

1 long baguette (sliced into 1/2" thick rings)
olive oil (to brush the baguette)
2 -3 roma tomatoes (sliced into 1/4" thick rings)
Fresh mozarella cheese (sliced into 1/4" thick (buy cheese the width of your baguette))
Fresh basil (thinly sliced)
1 Tbsp balsamic vinegar
1 Tbsp extra virgin olive oil
Salt and black pepper (to taste)

Instructions

Slice bread and brush both sides lightly with extra virgin olive oil. Bake 5 minutes at 350˚F to lightly toast it (toasting the bread keeps the bread from getting moist from the cheese).
Top with a slice of mozzarella and a slice of tomato. Sprinkle the tops with salt and pepper and bake at 350˚F for 8-10 minutes or until cheese is melted.
A few minutes before the crostini are finished baking, in a small ramekin, mix together 1 Tbsp balsamic vinegar and 1 Tbsp extra virgin olive oil until well combined. Toss in the sliced fresh basil and stir gently. Top each crostini with the marinated basil.
