Very flavorful especially considering the small number of ingredients. Might be worth mentioning that a decent amount of salt is needed, since fresh mozzarella is fairly bland. I made this for ZWT5 Jammin' Java Jivers and will definitely make again. Thanks, Slatts!

We loved these!! They were the perfect accompaniment to recipe#373492. I never used olive oil on my toast before,and this was GREAT. I like the way it doesn't make your bread so crunchy, yet it gives just the right amount of "crunchiness" to the edges. We were discussing how this would be a great thing to bring to bar-b-ques or potlucks. Made for ZWT5 and the GROOVY GASTROGNOMES.THANKS!!

Hi there! :) I was on my own last night for dinner, so I made your recipe. I made it for 2 servings and used a french roll as I didn't have a baguette. Everything was the same except my mozz was shredded and I added a bit of garlic powder. Thank you so much for the easy, great recipe.

This is really good. I omitted the salt and pepper. And at the end, put it on broil. Thanks Slatts :) Made for the Saucy Senoritas of ZWT5
