TOMATO AND MOZZARELLA BRUSCHETTA WITH BASIL OIL
Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Bruschetta Preparation: Place diced tomatoes on a VIVA® towel and salt. Let sit for 20 minutes. Remove to a bowl and mix together with mozzarella and vinegar. Season with salt to taste. Let stand at room temperature while toasting the bread. Place bread slices on a sheet tray in a single layer and bake until edges are golden, turning bread halfway through. Rub one side of toasted bread with raw garlic. To assemble, place a mound of tomato mixture onto slices and drizzle with basil oil. Serve immediately. Basil Oil Preparation: Bring a saucepan of water to a boil. Fill a bowl with ice water. Drop the basil leaves into the boiling water and submerge them for 5 seconds. Remove them to the ice bath using a spider or slotted spoon. Work quickly. You don't want the basil leaves in the boiling water for too long. Blanching the leaves and then shocking them in ice water will preserve the bright green color. Remove the basil from the water and squeeze dry using VIVA® towels. You want the basil as dry as possible. Remove basil to a blender with the oil. Puree until the mixture is well combined. Place a strainer inside a bowl. Dampen a VIVA® towel with water and line the towel inside the strainer. Pour the basil oil into the strainer. It takes awhile for the oil to strain through. You may need to squeeze it gently to help along the oil. Pour strained basil oil into the neck of a small cruet or a small sterilized jar. Cover the jar or cruet tightly and refrigerate. Use within four days.

Tips:
- Use the best quality tomatoes you can find, as they will make the biggest difference in the flavor of the bruschetta.
- If you can't find fresh basil, you can use dried basil, but be sure to use only a small amount, as it can be overpowering.
- Don't overcrowd the bruschetta with toppings, as this will make them difficult to eat.
- If you are making the bruschetta ahead of time, be sure to drain any excess liquid from the tomatoes before assembling them, as this will help to prevent them from becoming soggy.
- Serve the bruschetta immediately after assembling, as this is when they are at their best.
