Description
This is a great way to use leftover baguettes. These are not only perfect on soups and salads, but you can use them as an appetizer with marinara sauce or even just as a snack!
Ingredients
- 1 baguette (1-2 days old)
- 1 1/4 cup olive oil
- Kosher Salt (To Taste* See Notes 1 For details)
- Freshly Ground Black Pepper (To Taste* See Notes 1 For details)
- 12 oz Shredded Mozzarella Cheese (See Notes 2 for details on this)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees.
- Slice the baguette into ¼-inch-thick diagonal slices.
- Lay the slices in one layer on a baking sheet lined with a silicon matte/parchment paper (I recommend the silicone matte, the cheese will not stick to it). Brush with olive oil* See Notes 3 for more details then salt and pepper on each side.
- Top with all of the mozzarella cheese and bake for 15 to 20 minutes until they are browned and crisp on the bottom and the cheese is melted. Serve at room temperature.

Ingredient details and Substitute Options:
- The salt and pepper amount will vary based on your taste. Use whatever amount suits you.
- Block Mozzarella or fresh mozzarella work with this recipe. *DO NOT use pre-shredded mozzarella. There is an anti-clumping agent added to ALL pre-shredded cheeses and it doesn’t melt the same. Shred it by hand, use your KitchenAid Attachment, or shred it in your Food Processor.
- You can use plain olive oil or jazz it up even more and use flavored olive oil such as basil or garlic.
Helpful Tips:
Here are a few things to keep in mind. They won’t make or break your breakfast, but they might save you some stress.
- Serving size depends on the baguette size and how thick you cut them.
