  Preparation

  1. Prepare the bruschetta bread following THIS RECIPE.
  2. Meanwhile, prepare the filling. Cut the mozzarella, cow or buffalo mozzarella, into small pieces. Wash the cherry tomatoes and cut them into 8 pieces. Mix the cherry tomatoes with the mozzarella and season with extra virgin olive oil, salt, pepper, oregano and basil. Leave the filling to macerate for an hour: in this way, the cherry tomatoes and mozzarella will be tastier.
  3. Once cold, cut the bruschetta bread into slices no less than 1.5 cm thick, taking care not to break them. Cut each slice in half to obtain 8 pieces.

  Attention!
  The thickness of the bruschetta is very important, especially if the bread is homemade! In fact, the excessively thin bruschetta would be too fragile to hold the filling, with the risk of them breaking.

  4. Season each bruschetta with a drop of extra virgin olive oil.
  5. Then place the bruschetta on an oven plate and brown the surface (we recommend the "grill" function of the oven) for a few minutes, until the surface is colored and crisp. Alternatively, toast the slices of bread in a pan.
  6. Remove the crispy bruschetta from the oven and flavor them with garlic: just rub a clove of garlic on each bruschetta to give the right aroma, without weighing them down.
  7. Spread the tomato and mozzarella filling on each bruschetta.To let the mozzarella run lightly and serve the bruschetta hot, it is advisable to leave the stuffed bruschetta in the hot oven, but turned off, for a few minutes.

  Did you know that
  To make the bruschetta even more appetizing, we recommend adding black olives, capers and anchovies!

  8. Serve the bruschetta immediately, to prevent the tomato sauce from making the bread soggy.
