Ingredients
 
 

  • 1 Baguette
  • 2 ½ cups Tomatoes chopped, without the seeds
  • 3 tablespoon Olive oil plus more for the bread
  • 1 tablespoon Balsamic vinegar
  • 1 cup Fresh mozzarella cut into cubes
  • 1 Kosher salt to taste
  • ½ Black pepper to taste
  • 3 cloves Garlic freshly grated
  • cup Basil fresh, chopped

Instructions
 

  • Preheat an oven to 200c (400f) and prepare a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • Cut french bread or a baguette diagonally into ½-inch thick slices. Lay the slices on a parchment paper lined baking sheet and brush each slice with olive oil and rub fresh garlic on each slice. (do that on both sides of the toast)
  • Bake the bread toasts in a 200c (400f) preheated oven for 5-7 minutes.
  • Cut each tomato in half, and use a spoon to remove the seeds to prevent the tomatoes from being too watery. Cut the tomatoes into small pieces. You can cut them into larger pieces if you'd like.
  • Into a large mixing bowl, add the tomatoes, chopped basil, balsamic vinegar, chopped mozzarella, kosher salt, black pepper, olive oil, and minced garlic, and mix well. Set aside and let the mixture marinate for about 30 minutes.
  • Assemble the mozzarella marinated tomato mixture onto the sliced toasted bread and top it with more balsamic vinegar or olive oil if desired. Serve and enjoy!

Notes

  • I highly recommend removing the seeds from the tomatoes. Removing the seeds and juices from the tomatoes will ensure that your bruschetta will not be soggy.
  • Don't skip toasting the bread! Toasted bread makes this appetizer the perfect appetizer with the perfect texture of cold tomatoes, and warm and crispy bread.
  • You can prep the tomato mixture ahead of time! You can make it and store it in the fridge for up to 3 days.
