Ingredients
  

Ingredients
  • 1 baguette, sliced into 1/2-inch pieces
  • 2 cups cherry tomatoes, diced
  • 8 oz fresh mozzarella, diced
  • 1/4 cup fresh basil leaves, chopped
  • 2 tbsp balsamic glaze
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Method
 

Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Arrange the baguette slices on a baking sheet and brush them lightly with olive oil. Toast in the oven for 5-7 minutes or until golden and crispy.
  2. In a bowl, combine the diced tomatoes, mozzarella, and chopped basil. Drizzle with olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Toss gently to mix.
  3. Spoon the tomato and mozzarella mixture onto each toasted baguette slice. Drizzle with balsamic glaze for added sweetness and tang.
  4. Arrange the bruschetta on a platter and serve right away to enjoy the crispy texture of the bread.

Notes

Choose fresh ingredients for the best flavor. Toast the bread well to prevent sogginess. Customize toppings with red pepper flakes or honey for added flavor.
