Caprese Bruschetta

I wasn't sure what to call this, but I figured caprese bruschetta described it best. And let me tell you, it's good. Like so good I literally dreamt about it all night after eating it and so good that I had to make it again for lunch the next day.

Ingredients
4 Roma tomatoes
Fresh mozzarella
8 slices Italian bread
Olive oil
Salt
Pepper
Garlic Powder
Dried Basil

Step one, dice and seed your tomatoes. Put them in a medium sized bowl.
Step two, dice your cheese into squares approximately 1 cm x 1 cm. You want your cheese to tomato ratio to be 1:2 (so half as much cheese as tomatoes--or whatever suits your personal tastes).

Step three, season. Add about two dashes of pepper, a pinch of basil, and a few dashes of salt and garlic powder. Mix the tomatoes, cheese, and seasoning.

Step four, lightly drizzle your bread with the olive oil and bake at 350 until it gets just crispy (about 5-10 min).

Step five, remove the bread from the oven and add your toppings. We like ours nice and full, but you should definitely be able to get 8 slices from this amount of mixture.

Step six, bake until the cheese melts, approximately 10 minutes. Then enjoy it already!!!
And yes, day two I accidentally left it in too long...It was still delish though.
