Ingredients

1 loaf whole grain artisan bread, cut into 3/4-inch slices
6 roma (plum) tomatoes, chopped
½ cup ready-to-eat sun-dried tomatoes, chopped
3 cloves minced garlic
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
¼ cup fresh basil, stems removed and leaves chopped
¼ teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
1 cup shredded part-skim mozzarella cheese

Steps:

Preheat the oven on broiler setting. Arrange the artisan bread slices in a single layer on a baking sheet.
Combine the roma tomatoes, sun-dried tomatoes, garlic, olive oil, vinegar, basil, salt, and pepper in a large bowl. Allow the mixture to sit for 10 minutes.
Broil the bread until slightly brown, about 1 to 2 minutes.
Divide the tomato mixture evenly over the bread slices. Top the slices with mozzarella cheese.
Return the baking sheet to the oven and broil until the cheese is melted, about 1 to 2 minutes.
