  • 5 Garlic Cloves, minced

  • 1 pint Red Cherry Tomatoes, halved

  • 1 pint Yellow Cherry Tomatoes, halved

  • 1 Tbsp Balsamic Vinegar

  • 1 Baguette, sliced into 1/2 inches

Steps:

  • Put cherry tomatoes, balsamic vinegar, basil, salt & pepper, olive oil and garlic in a bowl. Mix and refrigerate for an hour.

  • Optional: Melt 4 Tbsp butter in a pan/skillet and add baguette slices. Toast both sides and add more butter and baguette slices (bread will turn brown)

  • Put baguette slices on baking sheet, and top each slice with a slice of mozzarella. Broil until cheese melts (about 5 minutes).
