Instructions:
To create the perfect Bruschetta Caprese, start by preparing the homemade bread. Cut 4 slices of bread, each about 2 cm thick. Toast them under the grill or on a non-stick skillet until golden and crisp on both sides. As the bread slices become golden, take each piece and rub a peeled garlic clove on the surface, infusing the bread with a gentle garlicky flavor.
Once the slices are ready, set them aside and begin preparing the delicious topping for your bruschetta. Drain the buffalo mozzarella thoroughly and cut it into small cubes, ensuring they are not too large so that they mix well with the other ingredients.
In a mixing bowl, combine the diced mozzarella, black olives, and cherry tomatoes, which should be cut into quarters. Add the fresh basil leaves, roughly torn with your fingers for a more rustic touch, along with the oregano, extra virgin olive oil, and a pinch of salt. Stir everything together gently, ensuring all the ingredients are well combined and the flavors meld perfectly.
Now, arrange the toasted bread slices on a serving platter, and carefully distribute the prepared topping onto each slice, making sure each piece of bread gets an equal share. Finally, drizzle a little more extra virgin olive oil on top to finish and enhance the flavor.
Serve your Bruschetta Caprese immediately while the bread is still warm, and enjoy this vibrant, flavorful appetizer that is perfect for any occasion.
