Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Delicious Tomato and Mozzarella Bruschetta.
Step 1
Start by preheating your oven's broiler, positioning the oven rack about six inches from the heat source to ensure even toasting.
Step 2
Next, take your split English muffin halves and place them under the broiler, toasting them until they turn a lovely golden brown—this should take around two to three minutes, so keep an eye on them! While the muffins are toasting, grab a small bowl and mix together minced garlic, softened butter, and freshly chopped basil.
Step 3
This fragrant blend will add a burst of flavor, so spread it evenly over each toasted muffin half once they’re ready.
Step 4
In a large bowl, combine chopped tomatoes, halved olives, and a spoonful of tomato paste, stirring gently to mix.
Step 5
Set this vibrant mixture aside for a moment.
Step 6
In another small bowl, whisk together olive oil, fresh lemon juice, and a touch of honey to create a delightful dressing that will elevate your bruschetta.
Step 7
Now, it’s time to assemble! Generously spoon the tomato mixture onto each muffin half, allowing the colors and textures to shine.
Step 8
Drizzle the olive oil mixture over the top, and then place a half slice of mozzarella cheese on each muffin.
Step 9
Don’t forget to season with a pinch of salt and pepper to enhance the flavors.
Step 10
Return the assembled muffins to the broiler and watch as the cheese melts to perfection—this should take about one to two minutes.
Step 11
Once they’re bubbling and golden, take them out and serve immediately.
Step 12
Enjoy your delicious bruschetta, and savor the delightful combination of flavors that will surely impress your family and friends!.
