Hi folks! It’s
been a while since my last post. Time has just sailed by lately! I thought I
would share a recent food favorite of our little family. It isn’t anything new,
or something I personally “invented.” Just a classic that we put our own twists
to and love to eat!
When we do
our monthly shopping, we always check the “day old bread” section. We lucked
out on one shopping trip and found a fabulous deal on some French loaves. One
night we had a hankering for some pizza, so I whipped up some super easy French
bread pizzas.
Here is what
you will need:
1 French/Italian
Loaf bread, cut in half lengthwise
1 14.5 oz can
of Italian blend diced tomatoes, drained
Olive oil
Shredded mozzarella
cheese
Dried basil
(or fresh, chopped if you like)
Preheat your
oven to 357 degrees.
Place loaves
of bread on baking sheet, face up.
Brush loaves
generously with olive oil (open face part, not entire loaf)
Evenly
distribute the drained tomatoes between the two halves. (I chopped my tomatoes
a little smaller since I was not using petite diced tomatoes)
Top with mozzarella
cheese
Garnish with
a little sprinkling of dried basil
Place in
oven for 20-25 minutes until heated through and cheese is melted. The loaves
outer shell should be nice and crisp.
Slice it up
and ENJOY!
