Recipe 🍳
- Place the focaccia bread in a dry frying pan (without oil) and toast until the surface becomes crispy and golden brown.
- Rub the cut side of a raw garlic clove over the surface of the toasted bread to infuse it with a subtle garlic aroma.

- Cut the fresh mozzarella cheese into bite-sized pieces and season with salt, pepper, olive oil, and basil.
- Evenly distribute the seasoned tomatoes and fresh mozzarella cheese over the garlic-infused bread.

Cooking tips 💡
- When toasting the bread, avoid oil as it makes it greasy. The key to texture is to crisp the surface with dry heat only.
- Fresh mozzarella cheese is high in moisture and barely seasoned, so be sure to season it well with salt and pepper to prevent the flavors from being bland.
