Ingredients:

1 gluten-free baguette or bread of your choice
2 cloves garlic, peeled and halved
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 cup cherry tomatoes, diced
1/2 cup fresh basil leaves, chopped
1/2 cup fresh mozzarella cheese, diced
2 tablespoons balsamic glaze
Salt and pepper to taste
Fresh basil leaves for garnish

Instructions:

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Slice the gluten-free baguette into 1/2-inch thick rounds and place them on a baking sheet.

Toast the bread rounds in the preheated oven for about 5 minutes or until they are slightly crispy.

Remove the toasted bread from the oven and rub each slice with the cut sides of the garlic cloves for a burst of flavor.

Drizzle olive oil over each crostini slice.

In a mixing bowl, combine diced cherry tomatoes, chopped fresh basil, and diced mozzarella. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

Spoon the tomato and mozzarella mixture evenly onto each crostini.

Drizzle balsamic glaze over the crostini for a tangy sweetness.

Garnish with fresh basil leaves for a touch of freshness.
