Cheese Cherry Tomato Bruschetta Appetizers Recipes

CHERRY TOMATO BRUSCHETTA APPETIZER

Steps:

• Optional: Add quartered cherry tomatoes in a colander to drain out any excess water. I prefer doing this so the mixture doesn't get too watery.
• Add the drained tomatoes, garlic, basil leaves, olive oil, balsamic vinegar, black pepper, and salt to a medium bowl and mix well.
• You can prepare this ahead of time so the flavors soak up well or use it immediately! Top it over your favorite toasted bread, crackers, or make it into a bruschetta flatbread.
