Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 loaf Baguette
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 cloves Garlic
- 2 cups Cherry tomatoes
- 8 ounces Fresh mozzarella
- 12 leaves Fresh basil leaves
- 2 tablespoons Balsamic glaze
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
Slice the baguette into 1/2-inch thick pieces and arrange them on a baking sheet.
Brush each slice with olive oil (use about 2 tablespoons for this step).
Toast the baguette slices in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy.
While the bread is toasting, finely mince the garlic and set aside.
Halve or quarter the cherry tomatoes depending on their size, and place them in a bowl.
Dice the fresh mozzarella into small bite-sized pieces and add it to the tomatoes.
Chop or tear the basil leaves into small pieces if desired, and add them to the tomato-mozzarella mixture.
Drizzle the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil over the mixture, and season with salt and black pepper. Toss gently to combine.
Once the baguette slices are out of the oven, rub the top of each slice with the minced garlic for added flavor.
Top each bread slice with the tomato-mozzarella-basil mixture, making sure to distribute evenly.
Drizzle balsamic glaze over the bruschetta for a finishing touch.
Serve immediately and enjoy!
