First, slice the tomato and mozzarella into thin, even pieces. Wash and dry the basil leaves.

FAQ

  • Can I use different types of cheese?

    Yes, you can substitute mozzarella with other cheeses like provolone, fontina, or even a sharp cheddar for a different flavor profile.
  • Can I add other toppings?

    Absolutely! Consider adding roasted red peppers, olives, or a sprinkle of Parmesan cheese for extra flavor.
  • How do I prevent the bread from getting soggy?

    Make sure to lightly toast the bread before adding the toppings. This creates a barrier that prevents the moisture from the tomatoes and mozzarella from soaking into the bread.
