While cooking a romantic dinner at home of spinach lasagna and Caesar salad paired with a delicious Chilean chardonnay, I made bruchetta as a quick appetizer. Whether you need to hold guests over at your next dinner party or offer to bring a dish to your next potluck, this flawless bruchetta is always a hit! Bruchetta is my favorite appetizer to make, its super easy and the ingredients are commonly on-hand in my fridge.
Ingredients: I don’t list any specific amounts for the ingredients; there is no right or wrong answer. Use your best judgment based on the amount of bruchetta you plan to make!
- whole wheat baguette, sliced
- tomatoes, diced
- garlic, minced
- mozzarella cheese, shredded
- basil, chopped
- olive oil
Preheat oven too 400*F. Arrange sliced bread on baking sheet. Brush each slice with olive oil. In a large bowl, combine tomatoes and garlic. Spoon tomato mixture on bread. Top with basil and mozzarella cheese. Bake for about 10 minutes or until bread starts to turn golden brown. Serve and enjoy!
