  • 3 large roma or plum tomatoes, sliced thin
  • 1-2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper
  • balsamic glaze
  • fresh basil, chopped Use as much as you'd like. I didn't use measurements for this.

Method
 

  1. Preheat oven to 325°.
  2. Place sliced tomatoes on a non stick baking tray. Drizzle with olive oil, salt and pepper. Bake in preheated oven for 45-50 min.
  3. When tomatoes are done roasting, heat a skillet or saute pan over medium heat.
  4. Brush outsides of each slice of bread with olive oil. Place a few slices of mozzarella on one slice of bread, followed by tomatoes, basil and more mozzarella and tomatoes.
  5. Cook until cheese is melty and bread turns golden brown. About 5 minutes per side.
  6. Drizzle with balsamic glaze. Serve immediately.
  7. Enjoy!
