Course: Appetizer, Side Dish, Snack
Cuisine: Italian
Keyword: bruschetta, mozzarella

Ingredients

  • 1 loaf Demi Baguette ciabatta or French bread
  • 2 tbsp Butter
  • 12 oz. Baby Mozzarella fresh, marinated
  • 12 oz. Roasted Red Peppers or peppadew peppers
  • 4 sprigs Fresh Thyme plus more for garnish
  • 4 cloves Garlic chopped
  • 1 tsp Garlic Salt
  • 1/2 tsp Red Pepper Flakes
  • 1/2 tsp Black Pepper
  • 2+2 tbsp+tsp Balsamic Glaze equivalent to half 1/3 cup
  • 2+2 tbsp+tsp Raspberry Vinegar or red wine vinegar, equivalent to half 1/3 cup
  • 1 pack Bamboo Skewers

Instructions

  • Preheat air fryer at 400 degrees for 5 minutes. Meanwhile, melt butter in microwave for up to 30 seconds.
  • Cut your demi baguette into cubes by cutting in half vertically, then again in half horizontally. For a smaller amount of skewers, use half to three-fourths of the demi baguette.
  • Toss the baguette cubes in the melted butter with 2 cloves of chopped garlic. Then, cook in air fryer for 5 minutes at 350 degrees.
  • While baguette is in the air fryer, prepare the balsamic vinaigrette glaze. Add remaining 2 cloves of garlic to a bowl or spout cup with balsamic glaze, raspberry vinegar, garlic salt, red pepper flakes, black pepper and fresh thyme (leaves only). Whisk well to combine.
  • Assemble the skewers by first taking a piece of toasted bread cubes, then a piece of fresh baby mozzarella, followed by a roasted red pepper. I like to put two layers of this combination per skewer.
  • Put skewers onto serving plate and drizzle with balsamic vinaigrette glaze. Then, top with sprigs of fresh thyme before serving.
