Ah… Bruschetta, one of the best appetizer to enjoy any time of the year, specially summer. Bruschetta is an classic Italian appetizer. I make many types of Bruschetta like Tomato and Olive Bruschetta, Tomato and Basil Bruschetta, Chick-pea Bruschetta, Hummus Bruschetta etc. Today I am going to share recipe of Tomato Bruschetta with Balsamic Glaze. This appetizer or side dish makes a crispy complement to any Italian Entree.
Tomato Bruschetta with Balsamic Glaze is very flavorful, easy to put together and perfect for a party. You can make this in a large batch ahead of time, as well as toasting Baguette slices.
This recipe is all about getting the perfect blend of Tomatoes, Onion, Basil leaves and Mozzarella cheese together and immersing them in the olive oil to bring out their lovely flavors. When this Mixture is placed on top of the toasted Baguettes and Drizzled with Balsamic Glaze, Gastronomy is born… 🙂

My glaze has hardened after cooling to the extent the spoon is stuck, can you suggest what to do
Dhwani Mehta says
Ohh no… So sorry it happened to you. You can add water to that bowl and boil it again. This may help in removing the spoon.
