• On a baking sheet, line up baguette slices. Toast in oven for about 3 minutes or until light golden brown. Working quickly, rub the remaining garlic on the toasted side of each slice and then lay a piece of mozzarella cheese on top. Place bread back in oven and melt cheese slightly, about 45 seconds. Remove from oven and spread one tablespoon of the tomato mixture on each piece.

TOMATO & MOZZARELLA TOASTIE

Steps:

• Spread the bread with the tomato pizza or pasta sauce. Scatter torn mozzarella and a few torn basil leaves over one slice, then add any meat or veggies you like - shredded chicken or ham, pepperoni, sweetcorn, onions or roasted peppers all work well. Top with the other slice of bread, then butter the outsides of the sandwich. Cook in a hot pan, weighed down by another heavy pan, for 2-3 mins on each side until the outside is crisp and the cheese has melted. Alternatively, cook in a sandwich toaster. Top with a few whole basil leaves and serve.
