Mozzarella Basil And Garlic Bruschetta Recipes

BRUSCHETTA WITH MOZZARELLA

Steps:

• Slice the top off of the tomatoes, then cut in half. Remove as many seeds as you can, then cut the tomatoes into small pieces and put them in a large bowl.
• Gather all the basil leaves together, then slice thinly into small ribbons and add to the tomatoes, mozzarella, and garlic. Drizzle with olive oil, sprinkle with some salt and pepper and toss together well. Put the bowl in the fridge while you toast the baguette.
• Slice the baguette at an angle into ¾" pieces. Brush on both sides with some butter and either broil in the oven (be sure to turn them over once during cooking) or you can sear them in a hot skillet until golden brown.
• Scoop a heaping amount of the tomato mixture onto each piece of baguette, sprinkle with a little more salt, drizzle with balsamic glaze and serve.

MOZZARELLA, BASIL AND GARLIC BRUSCHETTA

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 180 degrees Celsius.
• Slice the baguette into 10 slices.
• Spread garlic butter on each slice.
• Tear basil leaves (tearing releases the flavour, whereas cutting it does not produce the same effect) and place one on each slice.
• Cut the anchovies to size, and place on top of basil.
• Slice the mozzarella into ten slices and place one on top of each bruschetta.
• Sprinkle salt & pepper (if using anchovy use less salt).
• Place under the grill for five minutes or until the cheese bubbles and begins to brown.
• Serve warm as a starter or snack.
• Enjoy!
