Preheat oven to 350°F.

Ladle tomato sauce into the dish so that the sides of the cheese are covered, but the top is still exposed. 


Bake, uncovered, until the sauce begins to bubble at edges and the cheese is hot, about 25 minutes. 


During last 10 minutes of baking, transfer the bread to the oven and toast until golden brown, about 10 minutes.
