I hope you all had a wonderful Christmas. I know how hectic the season is and we are getting a little tired of baking. This is a delicious and easy appetizer that would be perfect for New Year's. Dried basil can e substituted but it is best with fresh.
6 roma (plum) tomatoes, chopped
1/2 c. sun-dried tomatoes in oil
3 cloves minced garlic
1/4. c. olive oil
2 T. balsamic vinegar
1/4 c. fresh basil, stems removed
1/4 tsp. salt
1/4 tsp. ground black pepper
1 French baguette
2 c. shredded mozzarella cheese
Preheat oven on broiler setting. In a large bowl, combine the roma tomatoes, sun-dried tomatoes, garlic, olive oil, vinegar, basil, salt and pepper. Allow the mixture to sit for 10 minutes. Cut the baguette into 3/4-inch slices. On a baking sheet, arrange the baguette slices in a single layer. Broil for 1 to 2 minutes, or until slightly brown. Divide the tomato mixture evenly over the slices. Top the slices with mozzarella. Broil for 5 minutes, or until the cheese is melted.
Ooh I like that cake in the header - Merry Christmas. sandie
