brushetta

I especially love tomato salads—and my favorite is the Italian caprese, with fresh mozzarella and basil. I decided to twist this classic salad a bit and turn it into a bruschetta appetizer.

Caprese Bruschetta

lb tomatoes (perfectly ripe)

mozzarella (fresh)

basil (large)

olive oil

salt

baguette

butter (melted)

balsamic reduction

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 in a large bowl.

Gather all the basil leaves together, then slice thinly into small ribbons and add to the tomatoes and mozzarella. Drizzle with olive oil, sprinkle with some salt and toss together well. Put the bowl in the fridge while you toast the baguette.

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.

This bruschetta with mozzarella recipe is the perfect appetizer. Easy to make, super fresh, and tastes fantastic. Everyone will fall in love with this combination of tomato, basil, and mozzarella. And the aromatics of this dish are incredible.

I needed a recipe for bruschetta with Mozzarella and you had it!

Absolutely fabulous! Made it just as the recipe describes and we loved it. It was SO good that a few days later we wanted another helping. At our now THIRD helping, in less than two weeks, my wife decided to try coating the seared baguette with just a thin layer of goat cheese we happened to have in the fridge before adding the toppings. Took it to another level! We tried both the broil and sear method and liked the seared a bit better. Either way, you'll certainly enjoy Ben's marvelous appetizer treat!

Hands down the best bruschetta! Whenever we have company over I pair this with red wine and prosciutto. The combination is amazing and suddenly everyone wants the recipe. Having made this a few times now, I think you can make this with a variety of tomatoes as long as they are fresh, ripe, and bright red.

I have to make this recipe at least once a week for my boyfriend because it is his favorite thing EVER. I have it memorized by now. I have made it for many parties and always have literally nearly everyone come up to me and ask if I made it and tell me how much they love it. 5 stars!!!!
