This recipe has been modified slightly over tim, but is always a winner, whether for an appetizer or main dish. It even works with winter store-bought tomatoes. The vinegar and basil bring out the flavors.

Ingredients

  • 2 large tomatoes, diced

  • ½ cup finely chopped red bell pepper

  • ¼ cup finely chopped red onion

  • ¼ cup balsamic vinegar

  • ¼ cup olive oil (Optional)

  • 10 leaves fresh basil, chopped

  • 2 cloves garlic, minced

  • 1 (1 pound) loaf French bread, cut into 1/4-inch slices

  • ¼ cup olive oil (Optional)

  • ¼ cup shredded mozzarella cheese

Directions

  1. Combine tomatoes, bell pepper, onion, balsamic vinegar, 1/4 cup olive oil, basil, and garlic; let tomato mixture rest for 15 to 30 minutes.

  2. Set oven rack about 6 inches from the heat source and preheat the oven's broiler.

  3. Arrange French bread slices on a large baking sheet; drizzle with 1/4 cup olive oil.

  4. Toast bread in preheated oven until lightly browned, about 1 minute on each side. Top bread slices with tomato mixture using a slotted spoon, allowing excess liquid to drain. Return bread to baking sheet and sprinkle with mozzarella cheese.

  5. Broil in preheated oven until cheese melts, about 3 minutes. Serve immediately.
