It’s that time in the late afternoon when my stomach starts to growl. So, in unity with fellow bloggers everywhere who are hungry before the end of the work day, I figured I would share a useful recipe. My boyfriend Will came up with this little number—I hope you like it.

Will’s Bruchetta

Ingredients:

1 baguette

2-3 medium tomatoes

2 rounds of smoked mozzarella (the good kind makes it better….oh, just splurge!)

1 container of fresh basil

Balsamic vinegar ( the better stuff is…well…better.)

Olive oil

Salt

Pepper

Slice the bread on the diagonal about ½” thick. Lay bread out on a baking sheet. Drizzle bread LIGHTLY with olive oil. Top each piece with a slice of tomato. Drizzle balsamic on top of the tomatoes, then salt and pepper the tomatoes. Put a basil leaf on each of the tomatoes. Finally, top everything with slices of mozzarella.

Pop those bad boys in the oven until the cheese gets melted, and what I like to do is once the cheese is melted I flip the oven over to the broiler and let the cheese get a little crusty on top—it makes them WAY better!

These suckers are so easy to make and every time Will and I make them we end up eating them as a meal. Everyone requests them. You can try different combos too, I think they are good with slices of mushroom and garlic. Maybe even try pieces of prosciutto. YUM!
