Appetizer Bread Stuffed with Tomato and Mozzarella Recipe

Ingredients:

• 1 large loaf of crusty bread
• 2 medium-sized tomatoes, diced

• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1/4 cup chopped fresh basil
• 3 tablespoons olive oil
• Salt and pepper, to taste

Directions:

1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
2. Cut the top off the loaf of bread and scoop out the inside, leaving a ½ inch thick shell all around. Discard the scooped bread or save it for another recipe.
3. In a large bowl, combine the diced tomatoes, shredded mozzarella cheese, minced garlic, chopped basil, olive oil, salt, and pepper.
4. Mix everything together well and spoon the mixture into the hollowed out bread.
5. Cover the filled bread with the top you removed earlier and wrap it tightly with aluminum foil.
6. Bake the wrapped bread for 25-30 minutes or until the cheese is melted and the bread is heated through.
7. Remove the bread from the oven and let it cool for 10-15 minutes before taking off the foil and cutting it into slices.
