These are always a hit! I serve them as an appetizer but could easily be a meal.

Ingredients:

6 cloves of garlic- minced
1/4 lb Fresh Mozzarella- thinly sliced.
4 tbsp of shredded basil

salt and pepper to taste

Directions:
1. Mince up garlic and put into a small bowl. Add 4 tbsp of olive oil. Mix. Set aside.
2. Heat 1 teaspoon of olive oil in a pan. Add tomatoes, salt, pepper and vinegar. Cook on medium heat for 5 minutes.
3. Put slices of bread on cookie sheet and broil in oven until they start to turn golden.
4. Brush garlic and olive oil mixture on each slice of bread.
5. Put a slice of mozzarella cheese, tomato mixture and basil on each slice of bread.
6. ENJOY!
