Ingredients
6cherry tomatoes, ripe and at room temperature (optional)
1 (5oz) whole-milk mozzarella ball in water, at room temp.
4 to 6 slices ciabatta bread or sourdough (1.5 cm thick)*
Cut the tomatoes into quarters, the mozzarella into small slices, and your ciabatta bread on the diagonal into slices no thicker than 1.5 cm/ 3/5"
In a small bowl, mix together the tomatoes, ½ Tablespoon of extra virgin olive oil, a pinch of salt, and some shredded basil or oregano. Set aside for 5 minutes.
Place the bread on a baking sheet and toast until crispy and lightly charred if possible. You can use the oven, the broil, the BBQ, a grilled skillet and even a toaster if it's easier for you.
Rub the bread with garlic and top with mozzarella and the tomato mixture. Try to arrange the ingredients nicely.
Sprinkle with salt, freshly ground pepper, and finish with a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil and shredded basil. Bruschetta with mozzarella is ready!
