Step 1
Slice the baguette into 1/2-inch thick rounds and arrange on a baking sheet. Brush both sides with 1 tbsp of the olive oil.
Step 2
Toast the bread in a preheated oven at 400°F (200°C) for 5-7 minutes, until golden and crisp.
Step 3
While the bread toasts, halve the 1 cup cherry tomatoes and tear the 8 oz mozzarella into small pieces.
Step 4
Top each toasted slice with mozzarella and tomatoes, then drizzle with the remaining 1 tbsp olive oil and sprinkle with the 1/4 cup basil leaves and 1/2 tsp black pepper.
Step 5
Serve immediately, warm or at room temperature.
