Instructions
Squash and squeeze the cherry tomatoes using your hands into a tall and narrow bowl to avoid as much splatter as possible. Drizzle the tomatoes with the olive oil and balsamic vinegar, then add the oregano, salt and pepper. Toss and set aside.
Preheat oven to 400F. Mix together butter and garlic. Spread evenly over bread halves. Place breads on large baking sheet cut side up. Line bread with mozzarella cheese slices and bake in oven for 5-10 minutes or until cheese is melted.
Remove bread from oven and spoon tomatoes on the bread slices. Serve whole or cut into 3-inch slices for appetizers.
