Toasted Baguette Topped With Tomatoes, Garlic and Cheese

Decided to make a quick snack that is not loaded with sodium.  I love baguette! It is such a nice bread.  When you toast the baguette, it is simply delicious.  I could eat toasted baguette all day.  Of course, topping it with different items just adds to that great flavor.

Items Needed:

  • 1 Baguette Loaf
  • 3 Tomatoes (Roma or Plum are great choices)
  • 5 Garlic cloves or more
  • Cheese
  • Unsalted Butter
  • Salt and Pepper
  • Olive Oil
  • Italian Dressing (optional)
  • Talipia Fish (optional)

Directions:

Grate cheese.  I chose Swiss Cheese since it contains less sodium (50mg per 1 oz).  This is a nice selection if you’re looking to reduce your sodium intake.

Dice tomatoes. Pour enough olive oil just to coat.  Add salt and pepper for taste.  Set aside or store in refrigerator while toasting baguette.

On some of the baguette slices, I put small pieces of Talipia fish that I had leftover from yesterday’s dinner. Then, topped with tomatoes, garlic and cheese.  Both ways are great.  You can pour on a little bit of Italian Dressing to add a little pop to it.
