A delightful and easy-to-make appetizer featuring gooey mozzarella cheese baked with a flavorful tomato sauce and fresh basil, served with crispy baguette slices.
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Preheating ensures even cooking and optimal cheese melting.
Place the mozzarella cheese in a shallow 2-quart casserole dish.
Use fresh mozzarella for the best texture and flavor.
Sprinkle the fresh basil leaves over the cheese.
Tear the basil leaves for a more rustic look and to release their aroma.
Spoon the marinara sauce around the cheese in the dish.
Ensure the sauce surrounds the cheese for even heating.
Bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until the cheese is hot and bubbly.
Keep an eye on the cheese to avoid over-baking.
Slice the baguette into thin slices and serve alongside the baked cheese and sauce.
Lightly toast the baguette slices for added crunch.
Serve the dish warm and enjoy!
Garnish with additional fresh basil for a pop of color.
