Directions
- Chop the tomatoes, onions, and basil into fine pieces. Combine with capers in a large bowl,
stirring in the vinegar and olive oil. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
Preheat oven
on broil.
Cut baguette bread into individual slices about 1/2 inch thick. A smaller sized baguette
approximately 2 to 3 inches in diameter works well.
Arrange pieces of bread on a baking sheet and place the sheet in the middle of the oven to
toast the bread. Allow 1 to 2 minutes or remove when golden brown.
While the toasted slices
are kept on the baking sheet, brush one side of the warm bread with olive oil. If desired for added
flavor, the pieces of bread can be rubbed with a clove of garlic prior to brushing on the olive
oil or use a garlic flavored olive oil.
Top each piece of bread with approximately 1 teaspoon of the tomato, onion and caper mixture.
Then, top the mixture with 1/4 teaspoon of cheese.
Place the baking sheet in the middle of the oven to melt the cheese, approximately 1 minute or
until slightly melted.
Remove from oven and serve.
Note:This recipe
will be sufficient for 42 smaller pieces sliced from a French baguette with leftover topping
remaining. Therefore, larger pieces of French bread can be used, if desired, but the total amount of
available topping will depend on the amount placed on each piece. Also, the amount of cheese may
need to be doubled.
