Method

Bruschetta Preparation Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Baguette

    Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Slice the baguette into 1/2-inch thick slices and arrange them on a baking sheet.

  2. 2

    Toast the Baguette

    Brush the slices with olive oil on both sides and bake in the preheated oven for about 5-7 minutes or until golden and crispy.

  3. 3

    Prepare the Topping

    While the baguette is toasting, dice the fresh tomatoes and chop the basil leaves. In a bowl, combine the diced tomatoes, chopped basil, salt, and black pepper. Drizzle with a little olive oil and mix gently.

  4. 4

    Assemble the Bruschetta

    Once the baguette slices are toasted, remove them from the oven. Top each slice generously with the tomato and basil mixture. Tear the mozzarella into small pieces and place on top of the bruschetta.

  5. 5

    Final Touch

    Optionally, drizzle a little more olive oil on top for extra flavor. Serve immediately.
