This recipe makes 8 servings so it’s perfect for a small get together or you can double the ingredients if you’re entertaining more!

How to store the Tomato and Mozzarella Bruschetta
This is best served immediately. However, you can make these ahead of time! Store the topping separately in an airtight container in the fridge and the toasted bread in an airtight container at room temperature. Spoon the tomato mixture over the toast just before serving.
Can you eat Tomato and Mozzarella Bruschetta warm or cold?
Either! We love them fresh out of the oven and it’s just as good once the bread has cooled down and if the toppings have been chilled. Just make sure to serve the bruschetta immediately after putting the tomatoes on the toast (or it will get soggy).
