Steps:
- Slice the top off of the tomatoes, then cut in half. Remove as many seeds as you can, then cut the tomatoes into small pieces and put them in a large bowl.

- Slice the baguette at an angle into ¾" pieces. Brush on both sides with some butter and either broil in the oven (be sure to turn them over once during cooking) or you can sear them in a hot skillet until golden brown.
- Scoop a heaping amount of the tomato mixture onto each piece of baguette, sprinkle with a little more salt, drizzle with balsamic glaze and serve.

BRUSCHETTA WITH FRESH MOZZARELLA
Bruschetta is a version of garlic bread (garlic toast, really), which is good by me because I think garlic should be its own food group. It's great in just about everything. Fresh mozzarella is the stuff that comes in little round tubs of brine, not the stuff that comes shrink-wrapped and that you put on pizza. It's soft and creamy and tastes amazing with the crispy bread, garlic, tomatoes, and basil.
Yield makes about 40 pieces
Number Of Ingredients 7
Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 375°F.
- Cut the baguette into 1/4-to 3/8-inch-thick slices and place on a baking sheet. Brush the bread with the olive oil and bake for 10 to 12 minutes, or until light brown. Peel one of the cloves of garlic and rub it over the warm bread slices.
- Cut the mozzarella into 1/4-inch cubes. Cut the tomatoes in half, remove the seeds by scraping them out of the tomato with a small tool or your finger, and dice into 1/4-inch pieces. Coarsely chop the basil. Peel and finely chop the remaining 3 cloves of garlic or pass them through a garlic press.
- Combine the mozzarella, tomatoes, basil, and chopped garlic in a bowl and season with salt and pepper.
- Spoon some of the tomato mixture onto each piece of toasted bread and serve immediately.
- You may wonder where to find fresh mozzarella cheese. Many grocery stores now have self-serve olive bars that often include fresh mozzarella; otherwise, check the deli counter. They usually have fresh mozzarella that's quite a bit cheaper than prepackaged versions. Plus, you can get exactly the amount you need.
Tips:
- Use fresh, ripe tomatoes for the best flavor.
- If the tomatoes are too watery, drain them on paper towels before using.
- Toast the bread until it is golden brown and crispy.
- Use a good quality olive oil.
- Season the tomatoes with salt, pepper, and basil before topping the bread.
- Add fresh mozzarella cheese for a classic bruschetta.
- Experiment with different toppings, such as roasted vegetables, grilled meats, or fresh herbs.
- Serve bruschetta immediately after it is made.
Conclusion:
Bruschetta is a delicious and versatile appetizer that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. Whether you like it classic or with a twist, bruschetta is sure to please.
