Time 15m

Yield 4 cups, 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

3 cups tomatoes, chopped and drained
1/2 cup fresh basil, chopped finely
2 -3 tablespoons garlic, crushed (I get the kind in the jar, it has a good flavor and is eaiser than doing it yourself)
1/4-1/2 lb fresh mozzarella cheese, cut into small cubes
olive oil
balsamic vinegar
garlic salt (optional)
1 loaf Italian bread, cut into slices appx 1/2 inch thick
olive oil
garlic powder
parsley
paprika

Steps:

  • For The Bruchetta:.
  • Mix together tomatoes, basil, garlic, and cheese.
  • drizzle olive oil and vingar over the tomato mixture. You don't want to skimp but you don't want to go over board either. For 3 cups of tomato mixture I would reccomend about a cup of liquid. Appx 3/4 cup of oil and a 1/4c of vinigar but this is just an estimate. Go by your own preference.
  • Stir the ingredients.Taste it and add more oil, vinigar, as needed. You can also ad a little garlic salt if you think it needs salt.
  • For The Garlic Toast:.
  • Cut the bread slices in half so they are snack sized (if you used italian bread. If you use french bread the slices should be perfect sized).
  • Spread slices on a broiler pan, drizzle w/ olive oil, sprinkle with garlic powder, parsley, and a touch of paprika. Put under the broiler untli toasted but not burned.
