  1. In a medium bowl, combine the chopped tomatoes, strawberries and basil. Set aside.
  2. In a small sauce pan, over medium heat, mix balsamic vinegar and sugar. Simmer, stirring constantly until it is syrupy. Remove from heat and add 1 tsp olive oil.
  3. Drain any excess juice from the strawberry tomato mixture. Stir in the balsamic vinegar syrup.
  4. Preheat the oven for a few minutes on BROIL.
  5. Arrange bread slices on a cookie sheet. Top each slice with mozzarella. BROIL in the oven for 2 to 3 minutes, or until the cheese melts.

Notes

  • If your balsamic vinegar syrup gets too stiff, just heat it a little bit before mixing it in.
