6. Finely slice the bread and place it into the oven for 10-12 mins until toasted. 

7. Skewer the cherry tomatoes and set aside. 

8. Once cheese is ready and all melted in the inside, remove from the oven and carefully lift the lid and folded halfway, sprinkle the rosemary leaves and sprinkle with cracked pepper.
