Ingredients

• ·1 baguette
• ·4 medium Roma tomatoes, diced
• ·1 cup fresh mozzarella, diced
• ·¼ cup fresh basil, chopped
• ·2–3 tbsp olive oil, plus more for brushing the bread
• ·2 cloves garlic, peeled
• ·Salt to taste
• ·Black pepper to taste

Instructions

1. 1

   Preheat the oven to 400°F.

2. 2

   Slice the baguette into even pieces and place them on a baking sheet.

3. 3

   Brush each slice lightly with olive oil, then bake for 6–8 minutes, or until the bread is golden and crispy.

4. 4

   While the bread is still warm, rub a peeled garlic clove over the front and back of each slice. The crisp ridges of the bread will grate the garlic into it.
