Ingredients
1 Crusty French Baguette
8 oz fresh mozzarella cheese ball
4 roma tomatoes , thinly sliced

Slice the baguette in half, lengthwise, so that you're left with two long halves of bread. Slice the mozzarella ball into very thin slices. Sliced the tomatoes into thin slices. Layer mozzarella slices along the bread, cut size up. Place on a baking tray and broil for 3-4 minutes or until mozzarella has begun to melt and bubble slightly.

Garnish very lightly with salt and pepper, if desired.
