Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups shredded mozzarella
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes
- 0.5 cup fresh basil leaves
- 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
- 2 cloves garlic
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.5 cup Parmesan cheese
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Spread the shredded mozzarella into four circular piles, about 1/2 cup each, on the parchment-lined sheet.
Bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until the cheese is golden and crispy. Remove and let them cool slightly.
While the cheese toasts are baking, cut cherry tomatoes into quarters and place them in a bowl.
Finely chop the fresh basil leaves and add to the tomatoes.
Mince the garlic cloves and stir into the tomato mixture.
Drizzle the tomato mixture with extra virgin olive oil and balsamic vinegar.
Season with salt and pepper, and stir well to combine all the ingredients.
Once the cheese toasts have cooled enough to handle but are still slightly warm, transfer them to serving plates.
Top each cheese toast with the tomato-basil mixture, distributing evenly.
Sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese over the top of the bruschetta for extra flavor.
Serve immediately as a delicious keto-friendly appetizer or snack.
