Method

  1. Cut bread into ½ inch (1.27 cm) slices on the diagonal.
  2. Lightly toast bread in the oven on both sides.
  3. Cut tomatoes into ¼ inch (0.75 cm) slices, and place one on each slice of bread.
  4. Cut mozzarella balls into ¼ inch (0.75cm) slices and place on top of tomato.

  6. Combine olive oil and balsamic vinegar (to taste) in a small bowl

  • Authentic Italian bruschetta begins with rubbing roasted garlic cloves on the toasted bread slices.
