Ingredients

Bruschetta with Mozzarella

2 cups halved grape tomatoes, well drained

4 ounces fresh mozzarella cheese, cut into 1/4-inch cubes

2 tablespoons thinly sliced fresh basil leaves

2 cloves garlic, pressed

1 1/2 tablespoons olive oil, divided

1/2 tablespoon balsamic vinegar

salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste

8 (1/2-inch thick) diagonal slices baguette

fresh basil leaves for garnish (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Place tomatoes, mozzarella, sliced basil, garlic, 1 tablespoon olive oil, and balsamic vinegar in a bowl, and fold until well combined. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Set aside.

Step 2

Set an oven rack about 6 inches from the heat source and preheat the oven's broiler. Brush baguette slices with remaining olive oil until lightly coated. Arrange in a single layer on a baking sheet; season with salt. Broil until lightly browned, about 1 minute, being careful not to burn.

Step 3

Spoon tomato mixture onto toasted baguette immediately before serving, and garnish with fresh basil leaves.
