The Best Easy Italian Bruschetta

I say that this is the “best” because it really is so delicious tasting.
What makes it so delicious is the wonderful blend of tastes that come together in this recipe.

Bruschetta really is the perfect appetizer recipe to make.
Everyone seems to agree upon this great tasting food because it is so good.
Also, you could certainly serve bruschetta any time of the year as well.

What makes this the best bruschetta recipe is how true it is to its Italian roots.

Like a true bruschetta, this one features the great taste of tomatoes along with a great cheese.
Both the tomatoes and the cheese are also Italian.

I am talking about a great bruschetta with mozzarella cheese.
What could really be more Italian in taste than a great tasting mozzarella?
True Italian mozzarella is actually made from buffalo milk, or so I have been told. However, you may only have the cow milk version of this cheese and that too is okay in this recipe!

I mentioned a moment ago that this Italian Bruschetta is made with Italian tomatoes.

There are many varieties of Italian tomatoes to choose from.
However, I tend to go for the Roma tomato variety or cherry sized tomatoes because they will fit better on your bread.

Basil is another essential ingredient in this recipe.
This herb is often synonymous with Italian cooking. I personally like how easy it is to grow and use in recipes.

Capers are an optional ingredient that I have added to this recipe.

These flower buds, yes flower buds, offer a great balance in taste in this recipe.
Look for the ‘brine’ variety of capers in for this recipe if you are planning on using capers as well.

It is customary to top this bruschetta with something wet.
Balsamic vinegar is one great choice to top this appetizer with as it goes well with the ingredients that will be covered with it.
However, you could just go with a simple olive oil instead.

The big cheat, or essential ingredient in this recipe is the bread that you use.

An Italian bread such as a simple baguette is a good choice.
Even better however, is something that is crusty enough to hold the ingredients in place.

You can choose from a variety of Italian tomatoes to use in this recipe. I suggest using a smaller variety such as Roma (plum) tomatoes or a cherry sized tomato for an easy recipe such as this one.

• Italian bread such as a simple baguette -1. A French baguette may work for you as well (usually a more crispy bread).

How to make The Best Easy Italian Bruschetta

• Start by toasting or grilling ½″ slices of the bread that you have chosen to use. Using a broiler is another option as well. Remove the bread from the heat and spread the garlic over it. Omit the garlic if this is too robust for your taste buds.
• If using your mozzarella cheese as or other cheese as a spread, spread this on the toasted bread as a base for the other ingredients. Otherwise, skip to the next step.
• In a medium sized bowl, toss together the cheese (if not used as a spread),Olive Oil, tomatoes, basil, and capers. Then distribute this over the bread.
• Drizzle the vinegar or additional olive oil over the bruschetta and serve.
