Savoury Bread

1 french bread stick
olive oil
2 cloves garlic, crushed
Tomato paste
dried basil
mozzarella cheese

Slice the bread diagonally into 1cm slices. Crush the garlic and mix it with about quarter of a cup of olive oil. Brush both sides of the bread with this oil and place on an oven tray. Spread each slice with a thin layer of tomato paste and sprinkle on a little dried basil and grind over some pepper. Top with thin slices of mozzarella cheese. Place in a hot oven and bake for about eight minutes. This well flavoured bread makes a good snack lunch. It goes well with soup or salad. It also makes a tasty cocktail nibble when cut into smaller pieces. Or it can make a pleasant change from garlic bread on a buffet or with a barbecue.
