Instructions

Cut the 1½ cups (200 g) cherry tomatoes in half and place them in a large bowl. Add the ½ cup (50 g) chopped mozzarella and 2 tablespoons chopped fresh basil, then mix gently.
Sprinkle in the ¼ teaspoon salt and 1 teaspoon dried oregano, then drizzle 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil over the mixture. Toss gently until everything is evenly coated.
Toast the 8 slices of bread until golden and crisp. While the bread is still warm, rub both sides of each slice with the garlic clove.
Spoon the cherry tomato mixture evenly over the toasted bread and drizzle with the remaining 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil. Serve immediately.

Notes

Use Ripe Cherry Tomatoes: Ripe cherry tomatoes work best here because they bring natural sweetness, and I find they keep the topping fresh and juicy.

Toast the Bread Until Crisp: I always toast the bread until it becomes nicely golden so it can hold the topping without turning soft too quickly.

Assemble Just Before Serving: Bruschetta tastes best when the topping is added right before serving, and I like doing this so the bread stays crisp.
