1
Prepare the Bread
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Slice the baguette or Italian bread into 1/2 inch thick slices and place them on a baking sheet.
2
Toast the Bread
Drizzle the bread slices with olive oil and toast in the preheated oven for about 5-7 minutes, or until golden brown and crisp.
3
Prepare the Topping
While the bread is toasting, dice the fresh tomatoes and place them in a bowl. Tear the basil leaves into smaller pieces and add them to the bowl. Cube the mozzarella cheese and add it as well.
4
Mix the Topping
Drizzle the balsamic vinegar and remaining olive oil over the tomato mixture. Season with salt and black pepper to taste, and toss everything together gently.
5
Assemble the Bruschetta
Once the bread is toasted, remove it from the oven and let it cool slightly. Spoon the tomato mixture generously onto each slice of bread.
6
Serve
Serve immediately as an appetizer or snack, garnished with additional basil if desired.
