Ingredients

  • 1 large french bread
  • 4 roma tomatoes
  • 1 small red onion
  • 2 clove garlic
  • 1/4 cup basil leaves
  • 2 tbsp grated parmesan
  • 1/4 cup plus 1 tsp olive oil
  • 1 tbsp balsamic vinegar
  • salt
  • pepper
  • mozarella cheese

Instructions

  • Soak the tomatoes in a bowl of boiling water. After a minute remove it from the water and remove the skin. This step is optional. If you prefer the skin on skip this step
  • Place the tomatoes, one minced garlic, basil and onion in a food processor and pulse until they are finely chopped, not liquid. Alternatively you can chop them by hand. Drain any excess liquid by placing the chopped ingredients in a sieve
  • Mix in the parmesan, olive oil, salt, pepper and balsamic vinegar. Refrigerate until ready to serve
  • Slice the bread, brush each piece generously with olive oil. Smash the garlic and rub the garlic on each piece of bread. Place a piece of mozarella on top. Spread the bread on a baking tray and place under the grill function for 5 minutes. Alternatively you can pop it into the airfryer for 3 minutes at 180 degrees.
  • You can remove the tomato mixture from the fridge 30 minutes before serving. Place a teaspoon full on top of each bread and serve

Notes

  1. You can use any bread you wish too. 
  2. The amount of mozarella depends on how much you prefer therefore I didn't stipulate an exact quantity
  3. Although not typically Italian another great alternative is to spread some garlic butter on the bread before toasting
