April's Bruschetta



Traditionally, Bruschetta is an antipasto (starter dish) from Italy consisting of grilled bread rubbed with garlic and topped with olive oil and salt. Variations may include toppings of tomato, vegetables, beans, cured meat, or cheese.

The following recipe is my version of this appetizer.


April's Bruschetta

3-4 Fresh Basil Leaves, chopped       
2 Roma Tomatoes, chopped             
1 Red or Yellow Sweet Pepper, seeded and chopped
1 Small Onion, chopped
2 Tbsp Olive Oil
1/2 Tsp Thyme
1/4 Cup Shredded Mozzarella
Baquette
Balsamic Drizzle

Preheat oven to 375°  Slice baquette; drizzle with 2 tbsp of olive oil.  Bake slices 4-6 minutes, turning once.  Slices should be golden brown.
Chop basil, tomatoes pepper and onion. Combine in bowl; toss with the remaining olive oil.

Spread vegetable mix on top of baquette slices.  Sprinkle mozzarella on top of each slice.  Return to oven until cheese is melted. 

Top with balsamic drizzle and serve!
