Note, these instructions are written assuming the standard serving size, since you have modified the number of servings, these steps may need to be modified for best results
- In a small bowl, mix together the tomatoes, mozzarella, and 2 tablespoons of the marinated oil. Add a pinch of salt and fresh basil, then toss together. Set aside.
- Slice your baguette into 1/4 inch slices, line on a baking sheet, and bake at 375°F until lightly toasted. Remove from the oven and let cool for just a couple of minutes.
- Once slightly cooled, spread pesto evenly on each slice (add as much as you like)! Top with a small spoonful of the tomato and mozzarella mixture.
- Sprinkle with extra basil and drizzle with olive oil. Enjoy!
Notes
This is a great little recipe because you can use as much or as little of each ingredient as you enjoy. Love pesto? Smear it on top! Only want a little? That’s okay too! The same applies to every ingredient here—including the basil. You can absolutely also use pre-made pesto instead of making your own.
