Ingredients

• 1 piece Whole wheat baguette
• 100 grams Low-fat mozzarella cheese
• 4 medium Fresh tomatoes
• 10 leaves Fresh basil leaves
• 1 clove Garlic
• 2 tablespoons Balsamic vinegar
• 1 tablespoon Olive oil
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

Step 2

Slice the whole wheat baguette into 16 thin slices, about 1/2 inch thick each.

Step 3

Place the baguette slices on a baking sheet.

Step 4

Toast the slices in the preheated oven for about 5 minutes or until lightly crispy. Keep an eye on them to prevent burning.

Step 5

While the bread is toasting, dice the tomatoes into small cubes and finely chop the basil leaves.

Step 6

In a medium bowl, combine the diced tomatoes, basil, balsamic vinegar, olive oil, salt, and black pepper, and mix well.

Step 7

Remove the toasted baguette slices from the oven.

Step 8

Cut the garlic clove in half and gently rub the cut side over each toasted baguette slice for added flavor.

Step 9

Evenly distribute about 1-2 tablespoons of the tomato-basil mixture onto each slice.

Step 10

Grate the low-fat mozzarella cheese and sprinkle evenly over the tomato topping on each slice.

Step 11

Place the bruschetta back in the oven for an additional 2-3 minutes, or until the cheese is just melted and gooey.

Step 12

Remove from the oven and transfer the bruschetta to a serving platter. Serve warm.
