Ingredients
- 4 organic plum tomatoes , seeded AND chopped
- ½ cup shredded dairy-free mozzarella OR Parmesan-style cheese alternative
- ¼ cup fresh organic basil , minced
- 2 tablespoons fresh organic parsley , minced
- 3 medium organic garlic cloves , minced
- 3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
- 2 teaspoons organic balsamic vinegar
- 1-2 drops basil essential oil (optional, but good)
- ⅛ teaspoon pink Himalayan salt OR sea salt, ground
- ⅛ teaspoon organic crushed red pepper flakes
- ⅛ teaspoon organic white pepper , ground
- 2 (8.4-ounce) organic gluten-free baguettes , cut in ½-inch slices, OR 6 organic gluten-free dinner rolls, halved lengthwise*
- ¼ cup grass-fed organic sea-salted butter OR ¼ cup coconut oil, extra-virgin AND unrefined, softened AND ⅛ teaspoon pink Himalayan salt OR sea salt, ground
- 2 cups shredded dairy-free mozzarella OR Parmesan-style cheese alternative
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to the lowest “Broil” setting. Alternatively, you can use the “Broil” setting if your oven doesn’t have specified temperatures for “Broil.” In a small bowl, combine the tomatoes, mozzarella-style shreds, basil, parsley, garlic, olive oil, balsamic vinegar, basil essential oil, salt, red pepper flakes, and white pepper. Set aside.
- Spread the baguette slices with the butter/coconut oil. Top each slice with mozzarella-style shreds.
- Place the baguette slices on an ungreased baking sheet. If using a low “Broil” setting, place the tray on the middle shelf of the oven. If using a regular “Broil” setting, place on the bottom shelf of the oven. Broil for 3-5 minutes, until the cheese melts. Watch carefully to avoid burning the cheese or the bread. Remove from the oven.
- With a slotted spoon, top each baguette slice with about 1 tablespoon of the tomato mixture. Place on a tray and serve.
