Ingredients

  • 1 baguette of sour dough or French bread
  • olive oil spray
  • 12 oz container of mini marinated mozzarella balls, drained and each one cut into thirds
  • 24 large cherry tomatoes, cut into thirds
  • 1 bunch of basil
  • balsamic glaze
  • 1/4 tsp freshly cracked ground pepper
  • 1/4 tsp kosher or sea salt

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 425 degrees F
  2. Slice the baguette into half inch slices on the diagonal and place on a parchment lined cookie sheet, you should have about 24 slices of bread, and spray each one evenly with olive oil spray, alternatively you can grill them in a grill pan or use a Panini press like I did. 
  3. Place in oven and toast until lightly browned around the edges, about 8 minutes, take out and let cool.
  4. Place some basil leaves on top of the bruschetta, depending on the size of them, one to three leaves on each.
  5. Top with 3 slices of cheese and 3 slices of tomato, layering them as you lay them down
  6. Drizzle with balsamic glaze and sprinkle with a pinch of salt & pepper and serve. 

  7. Makes 24 and serves 8 to 10 as an appetizer.
