Prep Time: 10 minutes
Cook Time: 5 minutes
Ingredients:
- 1 loaf crusty Italian bread, sliced 3/4-inch thick (about 16 pieces)
- 2 Tbsp olive oil
- 2 cups fresh, chopped tomatoes
- 2 Tbsp chopped basil
- 4 cloves of garlic, chopped very fine
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1 oz. shaved mozzerella cheese
Preparation:
1. Combine the tomatoes, basil, garlic, and salt in a small bowl and set aside.
2. Set the oven to the broil setting.
3. Place the bread slices in a single layer on a large baking sheet. Using a basting brush, brush a small amount of the olive oil on each slice. Place the bread in the oven and broil for about 1 minute, or until the bread becomes lightly toasted.
4. Remove the bread from the oven, and spoon about 2 tablespoons of the tomato mixture on each slice. Top each with a couple shaves of mozzarella. Broil for another 30 seconds. Watch the bruschetta carefully during this time to make sure it does not burn.
