Caprese Bruschetta by Simple Meal Girl

March 2, 2021 by Christy Leave a Comment

I find myself making Caprese Bruschetta a ton during the spring and summer when tomatoes are ripe and juicy. It is perfect for using garden tomatoes or store-bought Campari tomatoes. It can be a meal itself on its own, served as an appetizer, or alongside grilled steak or chicken as a fun side.

Caprese Style Bruschetta

Some of my favorite recipes that I share on Simple Meal Girl are inspired by meals I’ve had in restaurants. Caprese Bruschetta is one of them! I have always loved bruschetta since I was a small child and tomatoes are my favorite! Normally it was toasted in the oven and served with the cheese melted. Then I had it at a local small chain restaurant called Paparazzi and saw how serving only the bread toasted with fresh marinated tomatoes and mozzarella was better! Seriously a game-changer and a must-try!

Tips for making Caprese Bruschetta

  • Use fresh bread such as ciabatta or focaccia. Plain, garlic-infused, rosemary, or asiago loaves work well.
  • Let the ingredients marinate a while before serving. I have a hard time with this step! I can never wait 24 hours and usually serve after 20-30 minutes. The longer it marinates, the more the flavors mesh.

Add in options

The sky’s the limit when it comes to adding ingredients. Here are some ideas.

  • Artichoke hearts
  • Kalamata olives
  • Green Peppers
  • Red Peppers
  • Freshly made salad dressing
  • Fresh Bread sliced
  • Tomatoes and mozzarella in a bowl
