Bruschetta is AMAZING, but add in mozzarella balls and you have yourself CAPRESE BRUSCHETTA!! This dish is a delicious appetizer or if you would like….GIRL DINNER!!!! If some of you don’t know what girl dinner is, it is pretty much a simple and usually smaller portioned dinner. Anyways, some bruschetta with wine is a match made in heaven.
