Notes: You can toast the bread (step 1) up to 4 hours ahead; cool and store airtight at room temperature. Ingredients:
1 baguette (8 oz.) |
1 1/4 pounds fresh mozzarella cheese |
3 to 4 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil |
2 to 3 tablespoons chopped fresh herb leaves such as thyme, marjoram, oregano, sage, or rosemary (one kind or a mixture) |
salt and fresh-ground pepper |
Directions:
1. Cut baguette diagonally into 1/3-inch-thick slices. Set slices on a rack on a 14- by 17-inch baking sheet. Bake in a 425° regular or convection oven until golden, 6 to 8 minutes.
2. Drain mozzarella and pat dry; cut into 1/4-inch-thick slices. Arrange on toast, cutting slices to fit. Drizzle olive oil over cheese. Sprinkle with herbs and salt and pepper to taste.
