Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 large garlic cloves (minced)
  • 4 roma tomatoes (seeded and diced)
  • 1 tablespoon finely chopped red onion (optional but recommended)
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh basil
  • ¼ cup diced mozzarella cheese
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • ⅛ teaspoon black pepper
  • 6 fresh baguette slices
  • balsamic glaze drizzle (to taste)

Instructions

  • Heat the olive oil and garlic over medium/low heat until the garlic softens. (about 5 minutes)
  • While the garlic is cooking, chop the tomatoes, onion, basil, and mozzarella cheese. Combine in a bowl and mix together with the salt and pepper.
  • Add the olive oil and garlic to the bowl with the other ingredients. Leave a tiny bit of oil in the pan to toast the baguettes. 
  • Return the skillet to the stove and turn the heat up to medium/high. 
  • Add the baguette slices to the skillet and toast until golden brown. 
  • Top the toasted baguette slices with the bruschetta mixture and drizzle with the balsamic glaze. ENJOY! 

Notes

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!
