Time 30m

Yield 8 to 12 appetizer servings

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 loaf baguette, cut into 1/2-inch thick slices (about 30 to 36 slices)
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
5 Roma tomatoes, sliced
1 1/4 pounds fresh mozzarella, sliced
1 bunch fresh basil leaves, stemmed

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F.
  • Arrange the sliced baguette bread on a baking sheet. Brush with some of the olive oil and sprinkle with salt. Bake until the bread is pale golden and crisp, about 5 minutes. Remove from the oven. Top each slice of bread with a slice of tomato and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Top each slice of tomato with a slice of mozzarella and sprinkle with salt. Return the baking sheet to the oven until the cheese and tomato are warmed, about 5 minutes.
  • Arrange the toasts on a serving platter. Top each toast with a basil leaf. Using the brush, drizzle the remaining olive oil over the basil. Sprinkle with salt and pepper, and serve.

This salad is amazing! The tomatoes are roasted to perfection and the mozzarella is melted and gooey. The balsamic glaze adds a touch of sweetness and acidity that really brings everything together. I will definitely be making this again and again.

I'm not a huge fan of Caprese salad, but I thought I'd give this recipe a try. I was pleasantly surprised! The tomatoes were roasted to perfection and the balsamic glaze was the perfect finishing touch. I'll definitely be making this again.

This salad is okay, but I've had better. The tomatoes were a bit too acidic for my taste and the balsamic glaze was a bit too sweet. I think I'll try a different recipe next time.

I was disappointed with this recipe. The tomatoes were mushy and the mozzarella was rubbery. I think it would have been better if I had used fresh tomatoes and mozzarella.

This salad was a bit too bland for my taste. I think it could have used some more seasoning, maybe some garlic or oregano. The tomatoes were also a bit too watery.

This was my first time making a baked Caprese salad and it turned out perfectly! The tomatoes were juicy and flavorful, the mozzarella was melted and gooey, and the basil added a nice touch of freshness. I will definitely be making this again.

I love this recipe! It's a great way to use up leftover tomatoes and mozzarella. I also like to add some grilled chicken or shrimp to make it a more substantial meal.

5 stars! This salad is SO easy to make and it's always a crowd-pleaser. I've made it for potlucks, picnics, and even just a quick lunch at home. It's always a hit!

Followed the recipe to a T and it turned out great! I was worried that the mozzarella would be too melty, but it held its shape perfectly. Definitely recommend using fresh basil, it makes all the difference.

I'm not usually a fan of baked salads, but I have to say, this one changed my mind. The balsamic glaze really brought everything together and added a touch of sweetness that balanced out the acidity of the tomatoes and the saltiness of the cheese. Wi

This baked Caprese salad was an absolute hit at our dinner party! The combination of flavors and textures was perfect, and the presentation was stunning. My only regret is that I didn't make a bigger batch, because it was gone in no time!
