Directions

For the marinated tomatoes

In a shallow dish, combine olive oil, balsamic, sea salt, and black pepper.
Toss in the basil and tomatoes. Let sit for about 30 minutes to let flavors develop.

For the bread

Lightly brush olive oil on each slice of bread.
Toast in toaster oven, or regular oven at 450°F for about 5 minutes until golden brown.
For each slice of bread, rub one half of a garlic clove, cut side down.

Assembly

Smear ½ tbsp of Black Sesame Crunchy Butter on each slice of bread.
Add a slice of mozzarella, then a slice of marinated tomato on top.
Drizzle extra Black Sesame Crunchy Butter.
Garnish with basil leaves and flaky sea salt. Enjoy!

Recipe Note

We recommend storing the toppings separately in an airtight container in the fridge for about 3 days. Toast the bread and assemble right before serving.
