lemon bruschetta

This was adapted from our favorite appetizer at our favorite local restaurant, Ella's. It's amazing how a little lemon juice changes the whole taste!

makes 8 pieces

8 thin slices baguette
2 cups grape or cherry tomatoes, quartered
2 scallions, thinly sliced
4 oz mozzarella, diced small
1 small garlic clove, finely minced
2 tbsp fresh lemon juice
1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil, plus extra for toasting baguette
salt and pepper

Mix all ingredients (except baguette) together and season with salt and pepper to taste. Set aside. Preheat oven to low broil (375 degrees). Lay baguette slices out on a cookie sheet and brush with a little oil. Place under broiler for a few minutes or until lightly browned. Allow to cool slightly, then divide topping evenly among slices. Serve at room temperature.
