Caprese Bruschetta


As regular readers of the blog, you all know I adore the flavor combination of caprese salads.  Very ripe tomatoes, creamy mozzarella, the distinctive flavor of basil mingled with balsamic vinegar.  Happy sigh.

Here's yet another variation of this classic:  Piled high on a piece of rustic grilled white bread.  

Slice bread about 1/2 inch thick.  Brush on a thin layer of olive oil on one side of the bread slice.  On an outdoor grill or with an indoor grill pan, place each slice (olive oil side down) onto the hot grate and brush olive oil on the other side. When the bread reaches your desired amount of toastiness, flip and grill other side.

Remove from grill and top with chopped tomatoes, cubed mozzarella (I used mozzarella pearls) and lots of shredded basil leaves.  Drizzle with balsamic glaze.  
Have one for me, please.
