Toasted bread topped with tomatoes, basil, and mozzarella.

Using a serrated knife, slice the baguette or Italian bread into 1/2 inch thick slices.

Slice the Bread

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Arrange the sliced bread on a baking sheet. Brush the tops with olive oil. Toast in the oven for about 5-7 minutes or until golden brown and crispy.

Toast the Bread

In a large mixing bowl, combine the diced tomatoes, chopped basil, diced mozzarella, minced garlic, balsamic vinegar, salt, and black pepper. Mix gently until all ingredients are evenly combined.

Combine Ingredients

Allow the mixture to sit for about 10-15 minutes so the flavors meld together.

Let the Mixture Sit

Once the bread is toasted, remove it from the oven. Spoon the tomato and basil mixture generously on top of each slice of toasted bread.

Top the Toasted Bread

Arrange the bruschetta on a serving platter and serve immediately. Enjoy the fresh flavors!
