hey there! I'm monica 

I pride myself on making amazing style and design accessible for everyone, regardless of location, budget, or ability! My design philosophy is rooted in authenticity + attainability - If I can do it, you can too! My work has been featured in countless publications, but I take the most pride in homeowners that have been personally inspired by my DIY ideas and have tried something in their own homes!

This past weekend I posted a picture on Instagram (follow on IG here) of our Sunday Night Football Snack – Toasty Tomato Basil Mozzarella Bread and peeps went nuts over it.  Who knew you all are so passionate about your appetizer snacks!  I made it again the next day (oh poor me, I have to make one of my favorite apps again!) so that I could share the recipe with you.  I’ll be honest, this is beyond simple, but it’s totally a favorite of all our family and friends!

Tomato basil Mozzarella Bread

Yeah, looks pretty amazing right?   Well here’s how you make it- it’s easy peasy friends!

Toasty Tomato Basil Mozzarella Bread

Ingredients:

Crusty Bread (I prefer a baguette or medium sized loaf)

Fresh Basil

Plum Tomatoes

Marinated Mozzarella in Olive Oil (Costo has my very favorite kind!)

1- Slice your bread

I prefer single serve size, so I slice the bread lengthwise in half and then into about 4 inch pieces.  When I’m hosting a big party, I slice it lengthwise into thin bite-sized slices.

2- Drizzle with Marinated Oil from Mozzarella Container

Make sure you get the seasonings and flavor from the bottom of the container.  That’s where all the flavor comes from!

3- Slice Tomatoes and Rip Basil

I like thinner tomato slices, but that’s totally up to you.  You can also use full basil leaves, but I prefer to rip it up so that it’s easier to eat!

4- Cut Mozzarella & Place on Top

I’ve found (from trial and error) that cutting the mozzarella balls in half  before placing them, is a very good idea.  It keeps them in place.  The times that I didn’t, I had them rolling around and making a huge mess!  Live and Learn!

5- Bake @ 400 until Mozz is melted and bread is toasty!
