Ingredients

  • 1 French Baguette, sliced into 1/2” slices, slightly angled
  • Pesto
  • 12 cherry tomatoes, sliced in half
  • 12 slices fresh mozzarella, cut in half
  • Olive Oil Spray
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 400F. In a bowl mix together the tomatoes olive oil, salt and pepper. Place the mixture on a baking sheet and roast for 10 minutes. Reduce the heat to 375F. On a clean baking sheet place the bread slices and lightly spray each one with olive oil. Bake for 7 minutes or until lightly toasted.
  2. Remove from the oven and cool slightly (~1 minute). Spread 1 – 1 1/2 teaspoon of pesto on each slice.
  3. Top with the mozzarella cheese and a few roasted tomato slices. At this point you can serve OR you can pop them under the broiler for 1-2 minutes to slightly melt the cheese.
  4. Drizzle with olive oil and sea salt if desired.

Notes

You could chop up the tomatoes once they come out of the oven from roasting and dollop them on top of the pesto.
You could add roasted garlic on top, cooked shrimp as well.
