Instructions
- Place bread slices on a baking sheet.
- Using 1½ tablespoons of olive oil, brush both sides of each bread slice with olive oil and grill/broil until golden brown, then flip slices and toast the other side.
- Peel the garlic clove then cut it in half and rub the cut side over the surface of the warm toasted bread slices.
- In a large bowl, combine chopped mini tomatoes, chopped mozzarella, finely sliced basil, remaining 2 teaspoons of olive oil and salt.
- Mix to combine then divide the tomato mixture evenly between the sliced bread.
- Drizzle with balsamic glaze (if using) to serve. Serve immediately.
Notes
- *Please note that the amount of calories per serve is provided as a guide only, as ingredients and cooking methods can vary greatly*
- The sharper the angle you slice the baguette, the larger the surface area of your slices will be.
- After chopping the mini tomatoes I sit them on some kitchen paper (paper towel) to help drain away some of their moisture.
- I recommend using balsamic glaze rather than balsamic vinegar to finish off this bruschetta. Glaze is thicker so it makes the bread less soggy.
