Baguette with Mozzarella and Tomatoes

What is a delicious dish is a Caprese salad. We often eat this in nice warm weather on a baguette, for lunch or as a side dish with the barbecue.

On Sundays, I like to make a grazing board with small snacks. And this is my new favorite to serve with it. A variation on the traditional salad as a basis for a delicious baguette.

It is delicious on a grazing plate and as a side dish with soup. This is just a perfectly filled baguette.

Tomato Mozzarella Baguette

It is a recipe that you can prepare quickly. Cut the bread and fill it with tomato, Mozzarella, and basil. Use plenty of salt and pepper for seasoning. Use a little extra spice for the mozzarella and tomatoes.

Wrap in aluminum foil and bake. Enjoy this delicious Caprese baguette filled with your family and friends.

Metric - US Customary

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 440 °F or 390 °F
Put the garlic in a small bowl and mix with three tablespoons of olive oil.
Cut the baguette diagonally, not through and through, about ⅔ depth.
Brush the olive oil-garlic mix on the cut bread surfaces.
Put the tomatoes and Mozzarella in the notches.
Spread half of the basil on top of the baguette.
Sprinkle the top of the bread with the remaining garlic-olive oil mix, and season with plenty of salt and pepper.
Wrap the bread in aluminum foil.
Put the bread in the oven and bake for 15 minutes until golden brown.
Carefully remove the foil and sprinkle the remaining basil on top.

Notes

1. Basil: Fresh basil is the tastiest. Instead of fresh basil, you can also use dry basil, but use one teaspoon (½ teaspoon before baking and ½ teaspoon after baking).

2. Also delicious: After the filled Caprese baguette comes out of the oven, sprinkle with a little balsamic glaze.

3. Storage

Because of the filling, storing this bread after baking is not lovely. However, you can make it earlier and wrap it in aluminum foil. Store in the refrigerator until baking. Just before serving, place it in the oven and bake it.
