Ingredients for Tomato Bruschetta

I make my tomato bruschetta with sweet heirloom tomatoes. Some stores only carry them in the summer months and they are worth getting. The sweet flavor and meaty texture of heirloom tomatoes is unbeatable and a good tomato really makes a great bruschetta! The diced tomatoes are then combined with creamy mozzarella, briny capers, and loads of fresh basil. I love to add a lot of basil to this Italian appetizer because it’s really refreshing and tasty. All that goodness is dressed with olive oil and bit of balsamic and ready to be enjoyed!

How to Make Bruschetta

Making this tomato and mozzarella bruschetta is super quick and easy! Here’s how it’s done:

  1. Dice the tomato into pea-sized cubes and place into a small bowl. Finely mince the shallot. Dice the mozzarella cheese. Gently roll basil leaves together and chop.
  2. Add drained capers, along with olive oil, balsamic vinegar and season with salt and pepper. Serve on top of warm, toasted bread. If not serving immediately, prepare ingredients but wait to season with oil, vinegar, salt and pepper until ready to serve.
