BRUSCHETTA CAPRESE WITH BALSAMIC VINEGAR REDUCTION
We absolutely loved this bruschetta recipe. It's a creative twist with the flavors of a Caprese salad. The classic flavors of the tomato, fresh mozzarella and basil are so refreshing. It reminds us of a summer garden. The toasted baguette makes this bite-size appetizer easy to eat. Where this gets special is the balsamic...

Steps:
- 1. Cut tomatoes in half. Chop basil. Place in a bowl together. Put as much basil in as to your taste. Cut cheese into chunks or use round slices. Mix with tomato and basil. If doing round slices of mozzarella, set slices aside.
- 2. For the balsamic vinegar reduction: Add 1 cup of the vinegar to a small sauce pan. Add 1 tablespoon of sugar. Heat to boiling.
- 3. Lower the heat and simmer 10-20 mins. Depending on how flat a pan you use. (This seemed to take us forever! Or we were really hungry) The smell is very strong so ventilate using your stove's fan. Another thing we learned! The vinegar should reduce down to about 1/4 cup and be slightly thicker still. Now, pour into a heat resistant bowl as the mixture is hot and put in the refrigerator until cooled and thickened. About 10 mins. Should be like a thick syrup, if it's thicker, that's ok too. It all tastes good!
- 4. While you are cooling the reduction, set the oven to broil. Put the sliced baguettes on a cookie sheet and sprinkle the olive oil over the sliced baguettes. Not to saturate them, just to add flavor.
- 5. Stick in the oven and broil until they are crisp and brown. Watch them closely as they brown fast! Take them out when crisped and add the toppings.
- 6. Just pile the tomato, basil and cheese mixture on top of each slice. If using round mozzarella slices, put those on the bottom and pile the tomato and basil on top.
- 7. Now drizzle the cooled balsamic reduction on top. You don't need a lot as it packs a lot of flavor. Enjoy... SO GOOD!
- 8. To give an idea: A 1/2 loaf of a baguette made enough for 4 servings of 5 pieces each. (Depends on how long the baguette is) You can make ahead, except the broiled bagutte slices. The vinegar reduction and vegetable mix will keep for left overs. You can use the balsamic reduction on just about anything! Fruit, meats, vegetables. It is sweet and tangy.
