Caprese Bruschetta
I had a bit of fresh mozzarella and a small amount of leftover baguette that needed to get used up so I decided to make caprese bruschetta. I tossed the tomatoes, fresh basil, and mozzarella cheese together with some garlic, salt & pepper, olive oil, and white balsamic vinegar. I placed spoonfuls of the tomato mixture on top of the toasted baguette slices. This was not only a quick and easy lunch it was healthy and delicious too. This may just be my new favorite appetizer.
How to Make Caprese Bruschetta
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
Coat both sides of the sliced baguette with olive oil cooking spray. Place on a rack and cook for 5 minutes or until crisp and warm. Set aside to cool slightly.
Place the diced tomatoes, chopped basil, and diced mozzarella together in a bowl; add the minced garlic, sea salt, and freshly cracked pepper, to taste, white balsamic vinegar, and olive oil. Mix until evenly combined.
Place spoonfuls of the caprese salad on each slice of baguette. Serve immediately. Enjoy.

This sounds so summery! Caprese anything is my favorite!
Looks like a really good way to put the leftovers to use and nice adaptation of the capese salad
Looks so good and so fresh! Delicious use of leftovers.
Perfectly simple and oh so delicious!!!
I could easily make a meal out of this, Pam. It looks so fresh and healthy. I’m trying to eat better and the opening of the farmers’ market really helps. Hope you are enjoying our great weather.
Absolutely gorgeous. I love that greenery background too. I will have to make this for dinner tonight since I actually have all the ingredients! 🙂
The combination of two of my favorite things!

My husband actually loves bruschetta but I have never made it for him. This recipe looks like a good place to start!
Sounds yummy and easy to make.
Simple but delightful! I like it, Pam. I think I’d be tempted to roast the tomatoes since i already had the oven on.
Absolutely divine and so refreshing!!

Love that I grow my own tomatoes and basil in my garden… can’t wait to use them in this recipe!
Not too much garlic… some recipes way overdo it on the garlic!
