• 1.   Blanch, peel, remove the seeds, and slice the tomatoes thinly.
• 2.   Drain and slice the mozzarella balls thinly.

• 8.   Arrange the tomato slices, peppers, mozzarella slices, and olives on top. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
• 9.   Place the baking sheet under the broiler in the oven and cook for 3 minutes or until the mozzarella slices are almost melted.

• 11.   When the bruschettas are cooked, remove them from the oven and sprinkle them with chopped basil.
• 12.   Serve these Italian bruschettas immediately on plates. Enjoy them as an appetizer or starter, accompanied by a dressed green salad.
