3 large cloves garlic, minced
1 loaf (1 lb.) French bread, cut into 24 slices
24 thin slices Mozzarella Cheese
6 plum tomatoes, chopped
2 Tbsp. chopped fresh oregano
PREHEAT broiler. Mix oil and garlic. Brush both sides of bread slices lightly with oil mixture. Place on baking sheet. Broil 1 to 2 minutes on each side or until lightly toasted on both sides.
Cover each toast slice with 1 cheese slice; top evenly with tomatoes.
Broil about 4 inches from heat 1 to 2 minutes or until cheese is melted. Sprinkle with oregano. Serve warm.

Note: Valentino’s makes this with the tomatoes and green olives underneath shredded mozarrella cheese and it’s awesome!
