Instructions
-
Prepare the Bread: Begin by brushing each slice of your favorite bread with olive oil. Then, sprinkle with minced garlic to add a burst of flavor. Arrange the slices on a baking sheet in a single layer.
-
Toast the Bread: Place the bread slices under the broiler in your oven. Let them broil for about 3-5 minutes or until they are golden and crispy around the edges. Keep a close eye on them to prevent burning.
-
Assemble the Bruschetta: Once the bread is toasted, top each slice with a fresh slice of roma tomato. Sprinkle a generous amount of shredded mozzarella cheese over the tomatoes, followed by a handful of fresh basil leaves.
-
Broil the Bruschetta: Return the prepared bruschetta to the broiler for an additional 2-3 minutes or until the cheese is melted and begins to brown slightly. The basil will infuse the cheese with a delightful aroma as it heats up.
-
Serve: Remove the bruschetta from the oven, let them cool slightly, and then serve immediately. Enjoy the crispy, cheesy, and fresh flavors of your homemade tomato bruschetta!
