Lisa’s 5 Step Bruschetta Ingredients:

A round loaf of Italian bread sliced (Lisa recommends Turano bread for this)

6 tablespoons Extra Virgin Olive Oil

12 cloves of garlic

1 1/2 lbs of grape tomatoes

2 tablespoons of Italian tomato paste

8-10 leaves of fresh basil, chopped

4 large balls of burrata cheese

Lisa’s 5 Step Bruschetta Directions:

Grill or toast sliced bread. In a sauté pan, place 6 tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil, 12 cloves of garlic, chopped, and 1 1/2 lbs of grape tomatoes, sliced in half. Add 2 tablespoons of Italian tomato paste (in the tube). Cook on low heat until caramelized and thick. Add 8-10 leaves of fresh basil, chopped.

On the grilled bread, rub 1 clove of garlic (slice the clove of garlic down the center and use the flat side to rub on the bread). Drizzle with olive oil.

Take 1 ball of burrata cheese and spread it onto 1 slice of the Italian bread. Top with the tomato mixture. Enjoy!
