Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 loaf Baguette
- 3 tablespoons Extra-virgin olive oil
- 2 cloves Garlic cloves
- 2 cups Cherry tomatoes
- 10 leaves Fresh basil leaves
- 8 ounces Fresh mozzarella
- 2 tablespoons Balsamic glaze
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Slice the baguette into 1/2-inch thick rounds, about 20 slices total. Arrange them in a single layer on a baking sheet.
Brush the baguette slices with 2 tablespoons of olive oil. Bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until lightly golden and crisp.
While the baguette is toasting, finely dice the cherry tomatoes and place them in a medium bowl.
Thinly slice the fresh basil leaves into ribbons and add them to the bowl with the tomatoes.
Finely chop 1 garlic clove and add it to the tomato-basil mixture.
Dice the mozzarella into small cubes, approximately 1/4-inch in size, and gently fold it into the tomato mixture.
Add 1 tablespoon of olive oil, salt, and black pepper to the mixture. Stir to combine and set aside.
Once the baguette slices are toasted, rub each slice lightly with the remaining garlic clove to impart a subtle garlic flavor.
Top each crostini with a spoonful of the tomato-basil-mozzarella mixture.
Drizzle balsamic glaze over the assembled bruschetta for a tangy-sweet finish.
Serve immediately and enjoy the perfect crowd-pleasing appetizer for your Bowl Game party!
