Mozzarella Melts

Nothing like a quick bite. Faux bistro food at it's best. With a glass of vino and you've got yourself a tasty app, my friend.

Ingredients:

8 roma tomato slices

Rosmary and olive oil round bread

4 slices about 3/4 inch thick

2 tbsp shredded parmesean cheese

8 oz mozzerella sliced from log or presliced package

good olive oil from drizzling

cracked black pepper

garlic powder to taste

2 tbsp fresh chopped basil (or 1 tbsp dried basil)

• Lay the bread slices down like an assembly line, one next to the other.

• Lay the 2 ounces of mozzerella, 2 slices of tomato, 1/2 tbsp shredded parmesean sprinkled over the top, cracked black pepper, and a pinch of garlic powder on each one, in that order.

• Put in a preheated 300* oven for 10 minutes until toasted and bubbly and crusty on top.

• Remove from oven, drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with basil.

• Serve and garnish with fresh basil leaf if desired. Serves 2 people. 2 slices per person.

Enjoy with a glass of white wine and good conversation. :) A perfect lite-bite.
