Steps

  1. After preparing the vegetables as listed, mix all the topping ingredients and leave that mixture aside. Combine the olive oil and garlic as well.
  2. Meanwhile, prepare the baguette: preheat the oven to 180°C, cut the baguette into slices and brush them on both sides with the garlic-olive-oil mixture. Arrange the slices on a parchment-lined baking tray, add a little cheese to each one and sprinkle on Italian herbs.
  3. Toast the baguette slices to a crisp, golden brown finish in the preheated oven, allowing approx 10 minutes. Put the prepared topping on the toasted slices and serve immediately.
