Ingredients for 1 ciabatta:

  • 1 ciabatta
  • 1 boll of mozzarella
  • 1 mango
  • 1 clove of garlic
  • Fresh mint leaves
  • Balsamico
  • Olive oil
  • Fresh pepper

How to prepare it:

Start by baking the bread in the oven based on the instructions of the package. Have it cool down and once it’s cold enough cut it into nice slim slices. Put the slices on a griddle.

Put some olive oil in a small bowl, add crushed garlic of the garlic clove (cut the garlic in half, take out the root and squeeze it into the oil) and set it aside so that the garlic can really get into the olive oil.

Peel the skin of the mango, cut in a straight line next to the seed into the mango, put the mango on a plate and cut it into nice thin slices.

Use the oil with garlic to grease the bread slices, make sure that you cover all of them and put them under the grill for about 2 minutes until they have a very nice light brown glance, they should be somewhat soft on the bottom and nice and crispy on the top. Be careful that you don’t grill the bread to long, they turn black in a blink of an eye. Put them aside for a moment.

Drain down the mozzarella and also cut the mozzarella into small slices. Cut the mint a bit.

Put the mango on top of the bruschetta’s, add the mozzarella as well. Sprinkle some balsamico on top and finish of with some mint leaves.

Enjoy!
