👨‍🍳 Instructions

Preheat oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C).

Arrange slices of baguette onto a baking sheet and brush both sides of each slice with 2 tablespoons olive oil.

Sprinkle with sea salt.

Toast the bread in the preheated oven until lightly golden brown and crisp, about 5 minutes.

Flip the bread slices over and top each slice with a slice of tomato and a slice of mozzarella cheese.

Sprinkle with salt.

Return crostini to the oven and bake until tomato and mozzarella slices are warmed through, about 5 more minutes.

Arrange the crostini onto a serving platter and sprinkle with basil.

Drizzle with remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil and sprinkle lightly with more sea salt and black pepper.
