Italian bruschetta

Product Tips
In Italian cuisine, for bruschetta with tomatoes and mozzarella, as well as for others, they most often use traditional national bread - ciabatta, but if there is none, then fresh white bread is suitable. An excellent option would be a French baguette. Slices of bread are fried and rubbed with garlic when warm, smeared with the best olive oil. This is the basis of bruschetta. Tomatoes should be selected ripe, but not overripe. In order to peel them, tomatoes should first be scalded with boiling water. Extraordinarily delicious sandwiches are obtained with mozzarella cheese. Bruschettas with tomatoes will perfectly complement olives, basil or other herbs.
