Easy Tomato Bruschetta Recipe

Easy Tomato Bruschetta Recipe you will want to share with friends and family!

This recipe for Tomato bruschetta is such an easy appetizer that I love to make as soon as the warm weather arrives but really it is good anytime.

I just use what I have on hand… a couple of tomatoes (but Roma tomatoes are the best) a little minced garlic, yellow, red or green peppers, fresh basil leaves and mozzarella cheese.

Chopping all the fresh ingredients in tiny little pieces is key to making sure that all that goodness will fit on top of the baguettes slices.

Once everything is all chopped, add 1 tbsp of olive oil and 1 Tbsp of Balsamic vinegar (or use either to your liking) and some black pepper.

Here’s how I get golden baguette slices- I use a French baguette cut into 1” or so slices. Next pour a tablespoon or so of olive oil in a frying pan. (I prefer a plain ole black frying pan because everything seems to cook up better in it)

Sprinkle a little kosher salt onto each slice of bread. Toast on both sides until golden.

Once the slices are toasted add slices of mozzarella cheese, Add a tablespoon of the chopped veggies and for this particular tomato Bruschetta recipe top it with fresh ribbons of basil.

Welcome to Karins Kottage! There is always something fun going on! You would think after becoming an empty nester couple that our nest would be very quiet and empty but our Kottage nest is usually more full than what we started out with! You might find me hosting a birthday party or graduation party and a baby shower on the same weekend or a big outdoor get together with 25 of our friends and family in the backyard or maybe I might be in the kitchen trying out a new recipe for my hubby and I to grill on the BBQ for a quiet night for the two of us. I am passionate about entertaining and setting a beautiful table! I may or may not have an addiction to cloth napkins and fun salad plates oh and goblets too! I think I will always have a home decorating DIY project in the works as long as my hubby is on board with me haha. We have painted A LOT in the 6 homes we have owned in the 35 years that we have been married as well as re-done multiple pieces of furniture, added wall and ceiling treatments, replaced lights, bathroom fixtures and even tiled floors! I have sewn what seems like a million window treatments for our home as well as for family, made slipcovers, and duvets and even a formal dress or two!
