Yield Makes about 20 toasts, or 10 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 (12-inch-long) loaf of Italian bread (about 2 to 3 inches in diameter), cut into 20 slices, about 1/2 inch thick
1 to 2 large garlic cloves, halved crosswise
Salt
Freshly ground black pepper
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
3 (1/2-pound) balls fresh, lightly salted mozzarella
2 tablespoons prepared basil pesto (see Cooks' notes)
2 tablespoons mascarpone, softened
7 large pitted black olives (Mediterranean-style or canned California), ends trimmed and each olive cut crosswise into thirds
1 (7-ounce) jar roasted red bell peppers, drained, patted dry, and cut into thin strips

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 400°F with rack in middle.
  • Arrange bread slices on a baking sheet and bake until pale golden, 6 to 12 minutes. Rub tops of slices with cut sides of garlic, then brush each bread slice with oil. Season toasts with salt and pepper and transfer to a wire rack to let cool completely.
  • Cut mozzarella crosswise into 1/4-inch-thick slices and trim, if necessary, to fit toasts.
  • Stir together pesto and mascarpone in a small bowl. If necessary, thin mixture with a little olive oil or water.
  • Dollop 1/2 teaspoon pesto mixture in center of each mozzarella-covered toast, then top each dollop with an olive slice to form the "irises" of the "eyeballs." Add 6 to 8 pepper slices for "veins," trimming to fit.
  • Serve within 1 hour of making.

Tips:

  • Choose ripe, flavorful tomatoes: The quality of your tomatoes will greatly impact the taste of your bruschetta. Look for tomatoes that are deep red and have a slight give when you press them gently.
  • Roast the tomatoes properly: Roasting the tomatoes concentrates their flavor and brings out their natural sweetness. Make sure to roast the tomatoes until they are slightly charred and caramelized.
  • Use good-quality mozzarella cheese: Fresh, creamy mozzarella cheese is essential for this bruschetta. Avoid using pre-shredded or processed mozzarella, as it will not melt as well.
  • Toast the bread slices until they are golden brown and crispy: This will help the bruschetta to hold up better under the weight of the toppings.
  • Drizzle the bruschetta with olive oil before serving: This will help to keep the bread from getting soggy.

Conclusion:

Mozzarella and Roasted Red Pepper Bruschetta is a simple but delicious appetizer that is perfect for any occasion. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. Whether you like your bruschetta with a little bit of spice or you prefer a more mellow flavor, this recipe is sure to please.
