Bruschetta with Tomato, Basil and Mozzarella Cheese
by Chef Owen May and Dr. Michelle May
Chef Notes
Bruschetta is crisp, baked French bread that is a great base for fresh toppings. Serve a basketful with toppings like Olive Tapenade and fresh ingredients like sliced Roma tomatoes, whole basil leaves, and mozzarella cheese. Or, if you prefer, you can prepare a tray of bruschetta ahead of time.
