Bruschetta with Mozzarella

This Bruschetta with Mozzarella is the perfect appetizer! The flavors are so fresh and it’s easy to pull together in a pinch!

The secret to giving this bruschetta with mozzarella a big punch of flavor is infusing the olive oil with the garlic then toasting the baguette in that olive oil!

While the garlic is cooking, you can chop the tomatoes, onion, basil, and mozzarella and combine it with the salt and pepper. I just buy one of the big balls of fresh mozzarella and dice it but you can also buy the small mozzarella pearls to save on some time!

Tip: To remove the seeds from the tomatoes, just cut the tomato in half, then take a spoon and scoop out all of the liquid and seeds. This keeps your bruschetta from being runny!

Once everything is chopped and the garlic is cooked, you can add the garlic to the bruschetta mixture and then toast your baguettes in that yummy, garlic-infused olive oil.

After toasting, just top the bread with the bruschetta then drizzle with the balsamic glaze. The more the merrier!

      It’s basically balsamic vinegar that’s been reduced down so it’s much thicker and sweeter (it’s SO good!) You can find it in any grocery store by the regular balsamic 🙂

        I Love Bruschetta !!! I like to add a little bit of grilled chicken cubes and bacon bits to mine. My guests rave over it.

      Answer to your question balsamic vinegar is one thing but you also can buy a balsamic glaze which is thicker and get to use instead of the balsamic vinegar

      I would only make it 1 or 2 days ahead of time. And then strain the excess liquid before serving it since the tomatoes will give off a lot.

    I did not want to consume the bread on its own so I decided I have to do something nice with it! Then as I came across this recipe Bruschetta I knew there is no way I can give up on this one! My kids simply loved this treat and they even want me to make this mozzarella filled bread again.

    I love that the mozzarella stays solid without actually melting! What brand do you recommend please?
