HEALTHY RECIPE

Tomato, Mozzarella & Basil Bruschetta

• Kosher salt & freshly ground black pepper • 2 large French baquettes, sliced 1-inch thick (about 36 slices) • 1 1/2 lbs fresh mozzarella cheese, sliced 1/4-inch thick

• 1 (32-oz) can whole tomatoes, drained • 1 cup fresh basil leaves • 4 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil • 6 cloves garlic, peeled

Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. In the bowl of a food processor, add drained tomatoes, 1 cup basil leaves, olive oil and 2 cloves garlic. Pulse until smooth, but somewhat chunky. Season with salt and pepper. On a baking sheet, line up baguette slices. Toast in oven for about 3 minutes. Working quickly, rub the remaining garlic on the toasted side of each slice and then lay a piece of mozzarella cheese on top. Place bread back in oven for about 45 seconds. Remove from oven and spread one tablespoon of the tomato mixture on each piece. Place bruschetta on decorative platter and garnish with basil leaves.
