Tomato Bruschetta w/ Fresh Mozzerella

[Tom Linderholm]

As your gardens begin to overflow with produce you may need to start looking for some easy ways to utilize it.

This is one I put on for WDIO Tv this morning:

Tomato Bruschetta with Fresh Mozzarella

2 Heirloom Tomatoes

½ cup chopped Basil

½ cup chopped red onion

1 Tbl. Chopped garlic

Mix the above ingredients together and set aside.

1/2 Lb of Fresh Mozzarella

24 pieces of crostini or water cracker

Begin by layering the mozzarella on the crostini and top off with a tablespoon of the tomato mixture. Continue till ingredients are used up.

Next drizzle each piece with a little Extra Virgin Olive oil and a bit of balsamic vinegar.

Enjoy!

Thanks Cheffry

I'll be trying this with my first tomatoes from the garden.

I assume we are to chop up the tomatoes as well?

The wife makes one similar using a toasted piece of french bread rubbed with garlic and drizzled with olive oil.

Oops. Yes chop the tomatoes. Sorry about that.

The Crostini is basically french bread brushed with herb & garlic infused olive oil then baked till crisp. So it sounds like she is right on the money.

My wife and my doctor ganged up on me and put me on a diet, so I'm going to have to ask you not to print recipes like that until I lose another ten pounds. Just reading it, I think I gained weight. Sounds nuummmmyy

We just made a similar recipe on our last camping trip. the only thing we did different was take the mozzarella right out of the kettle. You guessed right we make our own cheese when camping.
