Author Notes: When tomatoes are fresh and the weather is hot, this slight twist on a old favorite hits the spot. You just can't beat the peach-balsamic, and the presentation is as impressive as it is simple. - belevy
Serves 12
- 1 red vine-ripe tomato
- 1 yellow vine-ripe tomato

- Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
- Wash tomatoes and basil leaves, and pat dry.
- Cut each tomato into 4 equal slices.
- Cut the ball of mozzarella into 12 equal slices.

- Toast baguette slices in the hot oven for about 5 minutes or until slightly browned.
- Top each baguette slice with a slice of tomato, a basil leaf and a slice of mozzarella, in that order so that the mozzarella is on top.

This one is fantastic. Original or not, the peach-balsamic (found at Whole Foods, no less) really adds a nice finish with the mozz. We served these at a party earlier today, and everyone loved them. Well done!
