I wasn't planning on doing a blog today but I got really upset over something on a work level and decided to cheer myself up by making something yummy for dinner and posting about it. I decided on something easy like spaghetti and decided to make my yummy bread that goes with it. You can eat this bread with or without a dish, and again, I can't eat anything unless its a whole meal so I ate it with spaghetti. This bread also goes great with any pasta dish but I especially like it with spaghetti or lasagna. Here is the finished product paired with my famous spaghetti. I ate two helpings. Seriously, I don't know why I'm not obese.
On to the recipe. Super easy just a bit redundant with the toasting of the bread, really. Here are the ingredients:
Ingredients:
9 slices of sourdough bread (you can use french bread also)
1/4 cup of olive oil
1/2 tablespoon of garlic salt
2 Roma tomatoes (use roma, they are less runny than regular tomatoes)
2 small bunches of basil (found in the fresh herbs section of supermarket) cut into small pieces
1 block of mozzarella cheese sliced thinly into 9 pieces
Take a baking pan and line with foil, then spread out the 9 slices of toast and toast in oven at 350 degrees for about 5 minutes.
Pour olive oil into a small bowl, add garlic salt, mix together with a pastry brush.
After bread has toasted in oven, take out and flip bread over so that soft side is on top then brush soft side of each slice with olive oil mixture. Make sure you keep oven on because you will have to place it back in.
After each slice has been covered with the olive oil mixture, place back in oven for another 5 minutes. While bread is baking, slice the tomatoes, basil, and mozzarella.
Take bread out of oven, but keep oven on. Sprinkle the basil pieces on each slice.
Then add Mozzarella on top of basil.
Add tomatoes on top of mozzarella.
Lastly, place back in oven for 15 minutes. Bread should be toasted, cheese melted, and tomatoes molded into cheese...SCRUMPTIOUSNESS.
Serve with your favorite pasta dish or eat as a side snack. It will be delicious. It's also a great party appetizer, super cheap and easy to do! Enjoy!
