Preparation steps
Heat olive oil in a pot. Peel garlic and shallots, dice and sauté in them over medium heat until translucent.
Add tomatoes, balsamic vinegar and stock and simmer for 10 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.
In the meantime, cut the mozzarella into 8 slices and slice the loaf of bread. Pour the tomato sauce into a baking dish, put slices of bread in it and spread mozzarella on top.
Lightly toast under the preheated oven broiler at 500°F for about 5 minutes until the cheese has melted. Be careful not to burn.
Season tomato mozzarella from the oven with pepper, garnish with basil leaves and serve immediately.
