A delightful and quick snack or appetizer featuring a combination of fresh tomatoes, melted cheese, and flavorful pesto on a crispy base.
Preheat your oven to broil setting.
Ensure the oven rack is positioned about 6 inches from the heat source for even broiling.
Arrange the sliced baguette pieces on a baking sheet.
Use parchment paper on the baking sheet for easier cleanup.
Spread a generous layer of pesto on each baguette slice.
Use the back of a spoon to evenly distribute the pesto.
Sprinkle shredded mozzarella cheese over the pesto.
For extra flavor, mix in a bit of Parmesan with the mozzarella.
Place a slice of tomato on top of the cheese and season with salt and pepper.
Use ripe tomatoes for the best flavor.
Top with thinly sliced onion.
Red onions add a nice color contrast and sweetness.
Broil in the oven until the cheese is melted and bubbly, about 5 minutes.
Keep an eye on the melts to prevent burning.
Serve the melts immediately while warm and enjoy.
Garnish with fresh basil leaves for an extra touch.
