Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 loaf Baguette
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 cloves Garlic
- 4 medium Ripe tomatoes
- 10 pieces Fresh basil leaves
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Freshly ground black pepper
- 1 tablespoon Balsamic vinegar
- 10 slices Prosciutto
- 8 ounces Fresh mozzarella
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Slice the baguette diagonally into 1/2-inch thick slices. You should get about 20 slices.
Place the slices on a baking sheet and brush both sides lightly with olive oil.
Bake in the preheated oven for about 5-7 minutes, or until lightly toasted.
Remove from oven and rub one side of each toast with a cut garlic clove.
Dice the tomatoes into small cubes and place them in a mixing bowl.
Finely chop the basil leaves and add them to the bowl with the tomatoes.
Add salt, freshly ground black pepper, and balsamic vinegar to the tomato mixture and stir gently to combine.
Slice the fresh mozzarella into thin pieces.
Top each piece of toasted baguette with a spoonful of the tomato mixture, a slice of prosciutto, and a piece of mozzarella.
Return the assembled bruschetta to the oven for another 2-3 minutes, just until the mozzarella begins to melt.
Serve immediately as a delightful appetizer or snack.
