Notes

Basil Tomato Recipe

This is always a safe bet with guests. Optionally add some oregano or italian seasoning.

Mozzarella Tomato Basil Bruschetta

Are you a fan of mozzarella? Add it only if it's a high quality Mozzarella di Bufala. I prefer to cut it in thin slices and even the smaller balls can work as well

Bruschetta with Balsamic

If you're a fan of balsamic vinegar, then a few drops of the finest balsamic vinegar can satisfy your taste buds. Don't exaggerate though and avoid the sweet balsamic you find in the store.
