directions
Step 1:
Preheat oven to 400°F. Prepare all the ingredients.
Step 2:
Place the baguette pieces on a lined baking sheet. Spray the baguette tops with olive oil spray, sprinkle kosher salt and fresh cracked black pepper, and toast in the oven for about 5 - 10 minutes, until lightly golden, flipping once halfway through.
You can also do this in a toaster oven.
Step 3:
Once toasted, remove from oven, and rub each slice of bread with the garlic cloves.
Step 4:
Next, place a slice of tomato and one-half slice of cheese on each piece of bread and put it back into the oven to melt the cheese.
Step 5:
Once melted, remove from oven and top with julienned basil.
Step 6:
Sprinkle a bit more kosher salt and cracked black pepper on top and serve immediately. Enjoy!
