Bruschetta with tomatoes, mozzarella and olives recipe

I usually serve bruschetta as a starter before the meat is cooked, and no sooner is a plate of it put in the centre of the table than it magically disappears and I get requests for more. 

It is ideal for large groups of people at parties; it looks lovely on a big platter and taste delicious.
