Bruschetta Ingredients

Method

Bruschetta Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Bread

    Preheat your grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Slice the baguette or Italian bread into 1/2 inch thick slices. Brush both sides lightly with olive oil.

  2. 2

    Grill the Bread

    Place the bread slices on the grill and toast for about 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown and crispy. Remove from the grill and let cool slightly.

  3. 3

    Make the Tomato Mixture

    Dice the fresh tomatoes and place them in a bowl. Tear or chop the fresh basil leaves and add them to the tomatoes. Drizzle with balsamic vinegar, the remaining olive oil, and season with salt and black pepper. Mix gently to combine.

  4. 4

    Assemble the Bruschetta

    Top each grilled bread slice with a generous spoonful of the tomato mixture. Tear the mozzarella cheese into pieces and add on top of the bruschetta.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Serve immediately while the bread is still warm. Enjoy your delicious bruschetta!
