Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Step 2
Slice the baguette into 1/2-inch thick rounds, about 20 slices total. Arrange them in a single layer on a baking sheet.
Step 3
Brush the baguette slices with 2 tablespoons of olive oil. Bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until lightly golden and crisp.
Step 4
While the baguette is toasting, finely dice the cherry tomatoes and place them in a medium bowl.

Thinly slice the fresh basil leaves into ribbons and add them to the bowl with the tomatoes.
Step 6
Finely chop 1 garlic clove and add it to the tomato-basil mixture.
Step 7
Dice the mozzarella into small cubes, approximately 1/4-inch in size, and gently fold it into the tomato mixture.
Step 8
Add 1 tablespoon of olive oil, salt, and black pepper to the mixture. Stir to combine and set aside.
Step 9
Once the baguette slices are toasted, rub each slice lightly with the remaining garlic clove to impart a subtle garlic flavor.
Step 10
Top each crostini with a spoonful of the tomato-basil-mozzarella mixture.
Step 11
Drizzle balsamic glaze over the assembled bruschetta for a tangy-sweet finish.
