    This recipe was super duper easy and my husband absolutely loved it! I didn't have plain canned tomatoes so I used diced tomatoes flavored with garlic and olive oil - AWESOME! I'll definitely make these again.

    Great for dinner party! Used fresh tomatoes chopped in place, and was absolutely delicious!
    not used to the melted cheese for this dish, so it was a nice twist to the usual cold mozzarella!

    I loved this, I made three bruschetta's and this classic one was a hit. They were all devoured.

    We made these as a NYE appetizer. They are awesome. Instead of rubbing the bread slices with the garlic I just added extra to the tomato mixture. I was skeptical about making a bruschetta with canned tomatoes but these were excellent! We are making a pizza out out the leftover tomato.

    I will never make a different bruschetta. Rubbing the toasted banquettes with a garlic clove leaves behind the perfect amount of flavor under the mozzarella.

    I follow the recipe exactly, other than adding a splash of balsamic vinaigrette. I've made this two times for two different groups of friends, and they all complimented the appetizer multiple times, and there was none left. So simple to make, the flavor is fresh and light, this is definitely worth making.

    Absolutely delicious!! Bought a Rosemary bread instead of the French baquettes, used fire roasted diced tomatoes and just minced everything instead of using the food processor. Had the baker slice the bread, toasted each piece, then just put the fresh mozz on without melting it with everything else on top. The Basil with the Rosemary went great together-everyone loved these!

    YUM!!!! I am mostly rating the video as I based my entire bruschetta cooking on it.
    It was delicious. I never made bruschetta before as I always thought it was too much work. But it's really not, super easy and cheap to make and how YUMMY!
    Why pay big prices in restaurants when I can make it myself just as well and make it to my preference. Thank you Giada!!

    best brushetta recipe i have tried. I like to make it ahead of time and put it in the fridge so the flavors really combine. I slice the mozzerella ahead of time to, just to save time...and have the baker at the grocery store cut the bread up for me into little pieces so i dont have to deal with the mess. very easy and delish

    This was great. I was suprised by how much garlic you could taste just by rubbing it on the hot bread. I personally love the taste of garlic, but I could see it being too much for some people. I also used a "slap chop" to chop the tomatoes and basil together. It worked great without dirtying a huge food processor. Will make this again!

    This was a HUGE hit with my friends! I am very finicky with tomatoes, so this was the perfect salsa-ish form of bruschetta for me. I loved it, my friends loved it, and it was SO easy to make and clean up! You will leave people very impressed with your culinary skills, even though it doesn't really take any to make this delicious dish!
