The caprese bruschetta is a typical Neapolitan recipe, a pleasure to be enjoyed at any time: as an aperitif or main course, it is always the ideal choice for those who want to prepare a fresh, light and highly digestible dish.
First, cut the bread into fairly thick slices (about 2-3 cm thick). At this point, the slices must be toasted to perfection; you can use either the “grill” mode of your oven, or simply a hot plate. It will only take a few minutes for the bread to reach the right browning.
As for the sauce, you can choose whether to heat it for a few seconds before pouring it on the already heated bread, or spread it on the bread while it is still in the oven: the heat of the bread will be enough to heat it to the right point.
Finally, don’t forget to cut the mozzarella into cubes, and arrange it on the bread, in order to complete the dish. If you want, a pinch of oregano will be the touch of class for your exquisite caprese bruschetta.
