Mozzarella, Basil and Garlic Bruschetta image

This quick and easy snack is also wonderful as a warm, light starter to a Mediterranean dinner. If you like anchovies, you can add a half a fillet to each bruschetta too.

Time 15m

Yield 10 slices

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 small baguette (or similar)
garlic butter, to spread
5 large basil leaves
100 g mozzarella cheese
5 anchovy fillets (optional)
salt and pepper

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!
