Tomato, Basil, and Mozzerella Bruschetta w/Balsamic Vinegar


Sounds fancy doesn't it? Well it's not. The most inept cook could make this and it's delicious. I snagged the recipe from the Galaxy Nutritional Foods website.
I made this and found no changes I wanted to make, so I'm just going to give you their recipe.
Ingredients: serves 2.
6 slices whole wheat or whole grain french bread
2 tomatoes diced
1/4 cups loosely packed fresh basil leaves chopped
2 ounces of the mozzerella cheese of your choice
1 t. minced garlic
1 t. olive oil
2 T. balsamic vinegar
kosher salt and black pepper as needed
In a toaster oven or using your broiler, toast the slices of bread. Flip and toast the other side till browned evenly, set aside.
mix all other ingredients except for the cheese and let sit for 5-10 minutes to allow the flavors to "marry". Just before serving spoon tomatoe mixture on slices of bread and top with mozzerella, shredded or cubed. Slide back under the broiler just until cheese melts. *note, do not go off and leave these unattended. It only takes a couple of minutes. I like a little grated parmesan on top.
This simple dish is great with any green salad or some fancy olives. Or both!
Dinner in a minute.
