how to cook Easy Italian Tomato Mozzarella Bruschetta?
STEP 1
First, give those tomatoes a good wash and then cut them into small cubes.
STEP 2
Next, wash the basil and finely chop it up.
STEP 3
Now, it’s time to tackle the mozzarella – cut it into small cubes as well.
TIPS: If you can’t find mozzarella, don’t worry! Feta or ricotta can be used as a suitable substitute.
STEP 4
Take the loaf of white bread and slice it up, then fry each slice on both sides until they’re nice and golden. Don’t forget to rub each slice with a clove of garlic for that extra flavor kick.
TIPS: When it comes to making a slice of bread deliciously golden-brown, you have options. You can either fry it in a hot pan without any vegetable oil or use a toaster. Both methods will give you a crispy and tasty result.
TIPS: If you’re short on time and want to whip up this bruschetta in a flash, consider buying a pre-cut loaf. This will save you the hassle of slicing it yourself and get you to that mouthwatering snack even faster.

In a small bowl, mix together some black pepper, salt, and dried garlic. Add in some vegetable oil and grape vinegar, and give it a good stir.

Grab a medium-sized bowl and place the chopped tomatoes in it. Add in the mozzarella and pour in the sauce you just made. Gently mix everything together until it’s all nicely coated.
