A fresh and simple Caprese-style bruschetta perfect for summer appetizers, featuring ripe tomatoes, basil, and mozzarella on toasted baguette.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 baguette, sliced into 1/2-inch rounds
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 cloves garlic, halved
  • 3 large ripe tomatoes, diced
  • 1/4 cup fresh basil leaves, chopped
  • 8 ounces fresh mozzarella, diced
  • 2 tablespoons balsamic glaze
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Arrange baguette slices on a baking sheet.
  2. Brush both sides of the baguette slices lightly with olive oil.
  3. Bake for 8-10 minutes, or until golden brown and crisp.
  4. Rub one side of each toasted baguette slice with the cut side of the garlic cloves.
  5. In a medium bowl, combine the diced tomatoes, chopped basil, and diced mozzarella.
  6. Season the tomato mixture with salt and pepper.
  7. Spoon the tomato and mozzarella mixture onto the toasted baguette slices.
  8. Drizzle with balsamic glaze just before serving.

Notes

  • For a more intense garlic flavor, you can mince the garlic and mix it with the olive oil before brushing the baguette.
  • Use the best quality, ripest tomatoes you can find for the best flavor.
  • You can prepare the tomato and mozzarella mixture a few hours ahead of time, but assemble the bruschetta just before serving to prevent the bread from becoming soggy.
