Ingredients

1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil

16 slices Italian bread, sliced 1/2 inch thick

16 slice mozzarella cheese, sliced 1/4 inch thick

32 anchovy fillets, rinsed and patted dry, chopped

1 lb fresh plum tomatoes, cut into 16 thin slices

salt and pepper, to taste

Directions

Preheat oven to 400F.

Brush oil on one side of bread slices and place oiled side up on flat baking sheet. Cover each slice of bread with a slice of mozzarella, sprinkle with chopped anchovy, and top with a slice of tomato. Brush with oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Bake 10 minutes.

Variation: In place of anchovies and plum tomatoes, use 1/4 cup black or green pureed olives, and 2 large roasted red peppers cut in 1/4 inch strips. Spread bread with olive puree, lay on Mozzarella cheese, and cover with two crossed strips of red pepper. Bake as above.
