Ingredients
- 2 cups Cherry tomatoes
- 8 ounces Fresh mozzarella
- 0.5 cup Fresh basil leaves
- 2 tablespoons Balsamic glaze
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 loaf Baguette
- 2 Garlic cloves
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Slice the baguette into 1/2-inch thick slices and arrange them on a baking sheet.
Brush each slice of baguette with olive oil on both sides.
Peel the garlic cloves and cut them in half. Rub the cut side of the garlic over the top of each baguette slice.
Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and toast the bread for about 8-10 minutes, or until crisp and golden.
While the bread is toasting, halve the cherry tomatoes and place them in a medium-sized bowl.
Dice the fresh mozzarella into small pieces and add them to the cherry tomatoes.
Chop or tear the fresh basil leaves into smaller pieces and add them to the tomato and mozzarella mixture.
Season the mixture with salt and black pepper, then gently toss to combine.
Remove the toasted bread from the oven and let it cool slightly.
Top each piece of bread with a generous spoonful of the tomato and mozzarella mixture.
Drizzle the balsamic glaze over the top of the bruschetta.
Serve immediately and enjoy!
