Mozzarella and Tomato Bruschetta
A classic Italian toast ideal for a starter or appetizer. It consists of a slice of toasted bread with mozzarella and tomato, which can be heated in the oven for a few minutes to enhance all the flavors.
Ingredients
- 1 italian bread
- 2 Tomatoes
- 200 g Mozarella
- Extra Virgin Olive Oil
- 2 Garlic cloves
- Basil (a few leaves)
- Crushed black pepper
- Salt
Instructions
- We are going to begin with crushing in a mortar the oil and garlic. Peel the garlic and put it in a mortar. Add a little oil and mix well.
- We cut the bar in not very thin slices. As if we were going to make toast. We place them on the baking tray, on a vegetable paper. Brush with a little oil and garlic and bake for a few minutes until the bread begins to brown slightly.
- In the meantime, wash the tomatoes, cut them into slices. We also cut the mozzarella into slices.
- When the bread is toasted, put on it a slice of tomato and a slice of mozzarella. Add a pinch of salt and pepper.At this point, we can serve them cold.Or, if we prefer them hot, we put them back in the oven, at 180°C, with the broiler. Bake for a few minutes (between 3 and 5) until the mozzarella begins to melt.
- Garnish with a few basil leaves and that's it.
