Ingredients

1 baguette
olive oil
5 diced Roma tomatoes
¼ cup shredded mozzarella cheese
1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
1 tablespoon olive oil
2 minced garlic cloves
¼ cup thinly sliced basil
salt and pepper to taste
balsamic glaze

Instructions

Slice 1 baguette and place it on a baking sheet. Brush the tops of the slices with olive oil and broil for 2-3 minutes, until browned. Remove from the oven and allow to cool.
In a medium-sized bowl, combine 5 diced Roma tomatoes, ¼ cup shredded mozzarella cheese, 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar, 1 tablespoon olive oil, 2 minced garlic cloves, ¼ cup thinly sliced basil, and salt and pepper .
Top the bread with the mixture and drizzle with balsamic glaze, and serve.

Notes

Leftover Instructions

Fridge: Bruschetta is best served the day it’s made, but the tomato mixture can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Stir before serving, then spoon it over toasted bread.
Make Ahead: I don’t recommend making the tomato mixture more than a few hours ahead. You can slice and toast the baguette 1 day in advance, then cool completely and store it in an airtight container at room temperature
