Lemon Pepper Grilled Bruschetta July 12 2023

Ingredients:

  • 1 baguette or Italian bread, sliced
  • Olive oil
  • Mike's Lemon Pepper seasoning
  • Fresh tomatoes, diced
  • Fresh basil leaves, chopped
  • Fresh mozzarella cheese, sliced or torn into small pieces
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions:

  1. Preheat your grill or grill pan to medium-high heat.

  2. Brush both sides of the bread slices with olive oil.

  3. Sprinkle Mike's Lemon Pepper seasoning on one side of each bread slice, pressing gently to adhere the seasoning.

  4. Place the seasoned bread slices directly on the grill or grill pan. Grill for about 2-3 minutes on each side, or until nicely toasted with grill marks.

  5. Remove the grilled bread slices from the heat and let them cool slightly.

  6. In a bowl, combine the diced tomatoes, chopped basil, salt, and pepper. Toss to mix well and let the flavors meld together for a few minutes.

  7. Arrange the grilled bread slices on a serving platter. Top each slice with the tomato-basil mixture.

  8. Add a slice or small piece of fresh mozzarella on top of the tomato mixture.

  9. Optional: Place the bruschetta back on the grill for a minute or two, just until the cheese starts to melt.

  10. Serve the Lemon Pepper Grilled Bruschetta immediately as a delightful appetizer or snack.
