Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 loaf French baguette
- 2 cups Cherry tomatoes
- 8 ounces Fresh mozzarella
- 0.5 cups Fresh basil leaves
- 2 tablespoons Extra virgin olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Balsamic glaze
- 2 cloves Garlic
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Ground black pepper
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Slice the French baguette into approximately 12-15 ½-inch thick slices.
Place the baguette slices on a baking sheet and brush the tops lightly with 1 tablespoon of olive oil.
Toast the baguette slices in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until they are golden brown and crispy. Remove from the oven and let them cool slightly.
While the bread is toasting, finely dice the cherry tomatoes and fresh mozzarella, and place them in a medium bowl.
Chop the basil leaves finely and add them to the bowl with the tomatoes and mozzarella.
Mince the garlic cloves and add them to the mixture, along with the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil, salt, and ground black pepper. Gently toss to combine.
Top each toasted baguette slice with a spoonful of the tomato-mozzarella mixture.
Drizzle the balsamic glaze lightly over the top of each bruschetta.
Serve immediately and enjoy your Olive Garden Bruschetta Caprese!
