Caprese Bruschetta

By á-30

Ingredients

• Plum Tomato
• Fresh Basil
• Mozzarella (cut slice – half an inch thick)
• Baguette
• Balsamic Glaze
• Salt
• Pepper

Preparation

Step 1

I use a fresh baguette from the store and have them slice the bread for me. I’ve tried slicing the bread at home but just ended up squishing the slices.

When preparing this dish, I place the sliced bread on the serving dish. I layer the bread with the basil, tomato and then the mozzarella. I use plum tomato because it the perfect size for the bread. I sprinkle salt and pepper on each piece. Finally, I drizzle the balsamic glaze across the serving dish onto each piece.

Suggestions:

You can toast the bread prior to layering it with the ingredients to get a warm and crispy texture. I prefer the bread soft. Another suggestion would be to possible butter the bread prior to toasting it to add more flavor. However, I think the balsamic glaze compliments the light flavors of the mozzarella, tomato, basil and bread very well that nothing else is needed. But, hey, I’m bias.
