TOMATO-MOZZARELLA BREAD (BREAD MACHINE)

Steps:

• Place ingredients in the bread machine in order given directed by for your machine.
• Set crust to light and bake on white bread.

BREAD-BOWL MOZZARELLA DIP

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Combine the mozzarella, feta and butter in a large bowl. Slice off the top 2 inches of the bread boule and hollow it out, reserving the top and insides for dipping. Fill the bread bowl with the cheese mixture. Transfer to a baking dish, cover loosely with foil and bake 20 minutes.
• Uncover and crack the egg on top of the cheese mixture. Continue baking, uncovered, until the egg white is almost set, 12 to 15 minutes, then broil until just set, 1 to 2 more minutes.
• Remove from the oven and sprinkle with the red pepper flakes. Just before serving, break the egg yolk with a fork and beat into the melted cheese.
• Serve with the bread trimmings or crudites.

• Pit olives and add to bowl.

BAKED MOZZARELLA TOMATOES

Steps:

• 1. Preheat oven (or toaster oven) to 400 degrees F.

• 4. Salt and pepper lightly, add basil (as much or little as you like) and cook tomatoes for 10 minutes, or until tender but not mushy.

FRESH TOMATO AND MOZZARELLA ON TOAST

Steps:

• To prepare, slice tomatoes and french bread.
• Toast the slices of french bread in the toaster.
• Place the toasted french bread pieces on aluminum foil or baking pan.
• Put one layer of tomato slices on each piece of french bread (usually 1 1/2 to 2 tomato slices for each piece of toast).
• Sprinkle mozzarella cheese on top of each piece.
• Bake in toaster oven until cheese is melted.
• Take out of oven and drizzle a small amount of olive oil and balsamic vinegar on top.

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.
