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!

Amazing! Both my boyfriend and I LOVED this! I actually made it as dinner, not an appetizer. I used larger slices of fresh baked bread with a salad on the side and it was perfect! Its great for a night when you don't really feel like spending a lot of time in the kitchen but want something tasty to eat. This would make a great appetizer to really wow your guests as well. I let it sit for a day, and ate it the next day for lunch and it was even better!

I've made this so many times i can't remember...its simple and delicious. The best part is to make sure the bread is crispy on the outer crust. I brush a little bit of EVOO over the bread right before popping it in the oven, and then I skip the garlic rubbing when it comes out and just crush one or two garlic with tomato & basil and it perfect every single time...The melted mozzarella with the fresh tomato and basil mix is unbelievable.

YUM! These get an enthusiastic five stars. They were sooo goood. I loved that melted mozarella cheese all bubbly over the sauce on that garlic-y, crusty bread. This is the perfect appetizer to make or something delicious to impress guests!

Be careful of leaving them in the oven for too long though. I did that mistakenly with my second batch and ended up throwing it out. The bread hardened as well as the cheese and it was NOT salvagable.
