Garlic and mozzarella toasts are a delightful appetizer or snack that combines the rich flavors of roasted garlic, the tang of balsamic vinegar, and the creamy goodness of melted mozzarella cheese on crispy baguette slices. This recipe is quick and easy to prepare, making it perfect for any occasion.

Ingredients:

2 garlic cloves
6g
1 tsp vinegar
5g
1 tsp olive oil
4.50g
1 tsp rosemary
5g
1 baguette (french bread)
88g
1/2 cup mozzarella cheese
50g

Instructions:

1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
2. Prepare Garlic Mixture:
- 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.
3. Prepare the Baguette:
- Slice the baguette into 1/2-inch thick slices. You should have around 8-10 slices depending on the length of your baguette.
4. Assemble the Toasts:
- 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.
5. Add Cheese:
- Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese generously over each slice of baguette, ensuring even coverage.
6. Bake:
- 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.
7. Serve:
- 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.
8. Enjoy:
- 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.

With just a few simple ingredients and minimal effort, you can create a delicious and impressive dish that is sure to please any crowd. These roasted garlic and mozzarella toasts are a wonderful blend of textures and flavors, making them a perfect addition to your culinary repertoire.
