I love this cheesy italian bread! It is so easy and delicious. I used to make it topped with just Basil and a little Kosher salt, but my friend, Heidi, told me to try it with Italian Seasoning. I think both ways taste great. Try it both ways and decide for yourself which way you like it best!
Ingredients
- 1 loaf French bread
- sliced cheddar cheese
- 3-4 tomatoes, sliced
- Italian seasoning (or basil)
Instructions
- Slice French bread lenthwise, cover with sliced cheese. Add tomatoes and top with Italian seasoning. Broil for a couple minutes until cheese melts (don't over-do it.. you don't want it to burn). If you don't like using a broiler, you can put it in the oven at 425-degrees until the cheese melts. Cut into individual pieces and serve hot!

Yum, looks delicious and simple
This looks like a great variation to a family favorite of ours. We especially love this in the summer with garden grown tomatoes! I've never tried it with basil or italian seasoning. Good ole salt and pepper though.
Another yummy variation that's a hit in my house.. Grate some zucchinni, carrot, and onion. Saute it in butter, Salt and pepper to tatse, and place that on a lightly mayo'd bread of your choice, add a slice of tomato and then cheese. Broil until the cheese is melted.
Try it, you'll love it!
I had this in France, but slightly different. It was with slices of mozzarella cheese, basil, tomatoes, and herbes de provence. It is definitelyoria one of my favorites!
