The Ingredients
Putting together the topping
All of the ingredients working together for the perfect flavor.
Baking the Rosemary Italian Bread for a perfect brown and bubbly cheese.
This is one of my favorite dishes!
2 cups assorted tomatoes. I used various heirloom tom
atoes to have a variety of color and texture. Green, yellow, and orange. I also used red vine tomatoes in my version. But you could also use cherry, grape and teardrop tomatoes if that's what you have or if that's what you prefer.
1/2 small Red onion, finely chopped
3 Tablespoons fresh Basil
3 Tablespoons Olive oil (plus additional for brushing)
1 1/2 Tablespoons Balsamic vinegar
1 Garlic clove, pealed, sliced, and chopped
Combine all ingredients in a medium bowl. Set aside at least 1 hour for the flavors in the ingredients to really work together for the perfect flavor.
10 minutes before you are ready to eat prepare the following:
1 Loaf of Italian, French, or Focaccia Bread. I chose an Italian loaf with Rosemary. It added a delicious aroma and flavor. Slice thick. Brush each slice with olive oil.
Shredded Mozzarella (optional to top on bread before you bake it)
I sprinkled mozzarella cheese on half of the bread slices. And the other half I just used olive oil to compare and contrast. Personally, I liked the ones with cheese best.
Bake at 350 until cheese melts and bubbles or until bread browns nicely. About 8-10 minutes.
