Classic, Italian Bruschetta
- 1 classic Against the Grain baguette, sliced
- 10.5-oz carton NatureSweet cherub tomatoes
- 2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 4-oz. freshly grated mozzarella (optional)
- 6-8 fresh basil leaves, chopped
- 1 tbsp balsamic vinegar
- salt & pepper, to taste
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
- Place bread slices on a baking sheet and drizzle with olive oil.
- Char bread on each side, 3-4 minutes per side. (Keep an eye on the bread! These babies get toasted pretty quickly!)
- Pile basil leaves on top of one another and roll into a log. Thinly slice basil into green confetti.
- Dice the tomatoes, while trying to remove the seeds... if you don't get all the seeds it's no big deal ;)
- Place the chopped tomatoes, grated mozerella, minced garlic and basil into a small bowl and loosely combine.
- Add salt and pepper to your tasting and gently toss the mixture.
- Pile a spoonful of this topping onto each slice of toast.
- Drizzle with the balsamic vinegar, and eat up!
