Mozzarella Bruschetta

NCSouthernBelle's Note:

This is a low-carb combination of mozzarella caprese and bruschetta, with the mozzarella used as a replacement for the bread. The freshness of the ingredients is the most important part of this recipe. Perfect for entertaining, appetizers, or vegetarian meals.
