1
Prepare the Bread
Slice the baguette or Italian loaf into 1/2 inch thick slices.
2
Toast the Bread
Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium heat. Brush both sides of the bread slices with olive oil. Grill the bread for about 2-3 minutes on each side, until golden brown and crispy.
3
Prepare the Topping
While the bread is toasting, dice the fresh tomatoes and place them in a bowl. Finely chop the fresh basil leaves and add them to the bowl with tomatoes.
4
Add Seasoning
Mince the garlic cloves and add them to the bowl with tomatoes and basil. Drizzle with 2 tablespoons of olive oil, add salt, and black pepper to taste. Mix everything together gently.
5
Add Mozzarella
Tear the mozzarella cheese into small pieces and fold it into the tomato mixture.
6
Assemble the Bruschetta
Once the bread is toasted, remove it from the grill. Spoon a generous amount of the tomato and mozzarella mixture onto each slice of grilled bread.
7
Serve
Drizzle with the remaining tablespoon of olive oil and serve immediately while the bread is still warm.
