INSTRUCTIONS
In a 12-inch to 14-inch non-stick pan, heat oil over medium-high heat until
just smoking. Season crumbs with black pepper and dredge mozzarella slices,
shaking to remove loose bits. Place mozzarella slices in pan and cook until
golden-brown, about 1 minute. Meanwhile, grill bread slices on both sides.
This can be done just before the cheese is cooked. Remove each slice of
cheese and place on top of a slice of toasted bread. Add tomatoes to pan
and toss to heat, about 30 seconds. Add basil leaves, toss to wilt and
season with salt and pepper. Spoon around bread and mozzarella and serve.
This recipe yields 4 servings.
