Ingredients:
Instructions:
- In a small bowl, combine the minced garlic, balsamic vinegar, olive oil, and finely chopped rosemary. Mix well to ensure the garlic is evenly coated with the vinegar and oil.
- Slice the baguette into 1/2-inch thick slices. You should have around 8-10 slices depending on the length of your baguette.
- Lay the baguette slices on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
- Spoon the garlic mixture evenly over the top of each slice, spreading it out with the back of the spoon to cover the entire surface.
- Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese generously over each slice of baguette, ensuring even coverage.
- Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly, and the edges of the bread are golden and crisp.
- Remove the toasts from the oven and let them cool for a minute before serving.
- Optionally, garnish with extra rosemary or a light drizzle of balsamic vinegar if desired.
- Serve the toasts warm and enjoy as a delightful appetizer, snack, or side!
Tips:
- For extra flavor, consider using aged balsamic vinegar.
- If you prefer a different herb, thyme or oregano can be excellent substitutes for rosemary.
- To achieve the perfect toast, keep an eye on the baguette slices while they are in the oven to prevent burning.
- Using freshly grated mozzarella cheese will enhance the flavor and texture of the dish.
- Feel free to add a sprinkle of sea salt or cracked black pepper on top for an extra burst of flavor.
