Ingredients

• 2 medium ripe tomatoes
• 2 teaspoons olive oil
• 0.5 teaspoons salt
• 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
• 0.25 teaspoons garlic powder
• 0.25 teaspoons dried oregano
• 4 pieces slices of bread
• 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
• 4 leaves fresh basil leaves (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven’s broiler to high and position a rack about 6 inches from the heating element.

Step 2

Slice the tomatoes into 1/4-inch thick rounds and place them on a plate.

Step 3

Drizzle the sliced tomatoes with olive oil and sprinkle them with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and dried oregano. Set aside.

Step 4

Lay the slices of bread on a baking sheet and place them under the broiler for about 1-2 minutes, or until lightly toasted on one side. Keep an eye on them to prevent burning.

Step 5

Remove the toasted bread from the oven and flip the slices over so the untoasted side is facing up.

Step 6

Place the seasoned tomato slices evenly on the bread slices, then sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese generously over the top of the tomatoes.

Step 7

Return the baking sheet to the oven and broil for 2-3 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly with golden-brown spots.

Step 8

Carefully remove the sandwiches from the oven and transfer them to serving plates.

Step 9

Garnish each sandwich with a fresh basil leaf, if desired, and serve warm.
