To make the Caprese Bread Tartlets, you will need the following ingredients:
Preheat the oven to 350 °F.
Using a sharp knife, remove the crusts from 6 slices of bread.
Use a rolling pin to flatten each bread slice as thin as possible. Once flattened, use a 2½-inch round cookie cutter to cut out 2 rounds from each slice.
Brush both sides of the bread rounds with olive oil. Press the bread rounds into a 12-hole mince pie or muffin pan.
Bake for 12-15 minutes, turning around the pan halfway through cooking for even baking, until lightly browned.
Remove from the oven and place on a wire rack to cool completely.
In a bowl, combine sliced tomatoes, bocconcini, basil, and 1 teaspoon extra-virgin olive oil. Season with salt and black pepper to taste.
Fill the bread cases with the prepared filling.
