This recipe turns traditional bruschetta caprese on its head by swapping out fresh mozzarella for delicious ricotta cheese (either cashew ricotta cheese or traditional ricotta cheese.) Is tomato bruschetta healthy? Tomato bruschetta is a light and well balanced appetizer. I would consider it on the healthier side of appetizer choices. This homemade bruschetta caprese (with mozzarella) is a unique twist on the classic Italian appetizer! With sun dried tomatoes and mozzarella that is baked until melted, it is like a caprese salad taken to the next level.
