Technically speaking, you need only 4 ingredients for this recipe. A bread, salsa (homemade or fresh cut store bought salsa), mozzarella cubes and fresh basil leaves. Simple ingredients will create an amazing appetizer!
- Any bread will work for this recipe. Multi grain bread, wheat bread or sourdough just to name the few. Cut the bread into 1/2 inch thick slice and toast.
- Don’t forget to rub the warm toasty bread with garlic. Garlic infuses flavor into this bread and takes this bruschetta to a whole new level.
- Fresh homemade salsa is best for this recipe but store bought salsa will work just fine. Buy the fresh cut salsa.
- If using homemade salsa, add salt at the last as it will make the salsa watery.
- Top with fresh basil leaves, fresh mozzarella and enjoy!!
Serve immediately as all that juice from the salsa will make the bread soggy.
Part of this recipe can be made ahead. Toast bread, rub with garlic, cover with foil and set aside. Stir up all the salsa ingredients (leaving salt) and let it sit in the fridge. When ready to serve, warm the bread, add salt to salsa, mix and top the bread.
