Ingredients
Scale
Base
- 2 crispbread sheets (such as Wasa or rye crispbread)
Toppings
- 1/2 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
- 4 oz fresh mozzarella, sliced or torn
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
- Fresh basil leaves, for topping
- Optional: balsamic glaze for drizzling
Instructions
- Preheat the oven: Set your oven to 400°F (200°C) and allow it to fully preheat while you prepare the rest of the ingredients.
- Prepare crispbread base: Place the crispbread sheets on a baking tray lined with parchment paper, ensuring they are arranged in a single layer so they crisp up evenly.
- Add olive oil: Lightly brush each crispbread sheet with olive oil. This not only adds flavor but also helps the toppings stick and the base become extra golden during baking.
- Layer toppings: Evenly distribute the mozzarella slices or torn pieces across the crispbread, followed by the halved cherry tomatoes.
- Season: Sprinkle the toppings with dried oregano, then add salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste.
- Bake: Place the tray in the preheated oven and bake for 8-10 minutes, or until the cheese has melted, becomes bubbly, and the edges of the crispbread are golden brown and crisp.
- Finish and serve: Remove from the oven, top with fresh basil leaves, and drizzle with balsamic glaze if desired. Serve immediately while the crispbread is still warm and crispy.
Notes
- For best results, use a sturdy type of crispbread to hold up under the toppings and heat.
- Customize with extra veggies or a sprinkle of chili flakes for added flavor.
- Enjoy immediately to keep the base snappy; it may soften if sitting too long with toppings.
- Double the recipe for a party appetizer or serve alongside a salad for lunch.
