Directions:In the bowl of a food processor, add drained tomatoes, 1 cup basil leaves, olive oil and 2 cloves garlic.
Pulse until smooth, but somewhat chunky. Season with salt and pepper.
On a baking sheet, line up baguette slices.
Toast in oven for about 3 minutes or until light golden brown.
Working quickly, rub the remaining garlic on the toasted side of each slice and then lay a piece of mozzarella cheese on top.
