Grilled Bruschetta with Tomatoes, Basil and Smoked Mozzarella

6 thick slices crusty bread (we like Red Hen Waitsfield Common)
3 large tomatoes, diced
2 medium (or 1 large) ball smoked mozzarella
1 big handful fresh basil (any variety or a mix)
1 Tbsp balsamic vinegar
Extra virgin olive oil
Kosher salt and fresh cracked black pepper

Mix the diced tomatoes with about ¼ -1/2 cup olive oil and the balsamic. Season with salt and pepper to taste and let rest at room temp while you prepare the rest of the dish. Slice the mozzarella into medium thick slices (about 2 slices per piece of bread). Brush the bread on both sides generously with olive oil and season them lightly with salt and pepper. Place bread on a medium-hot grill. After about 2 minutes, the bread should develop nice grill marks. Flip bread and lay 2 slices of cheese on each piece of bread. Close the lid of the grill for about another minute or until cheese melts. Place bread on a serving platter, top each slice with the marinated tomatoes, making sure to pour the juice on as well. Sprinkle generously with chopped basil and serve immediately.

Fresh Corn and Corned Beef Hash
2 cups (about 1 Lb.) cooked corned beef, finely chopped or pulled
3 cups diced, boiled potatoes (about 2 medium potatoes)
1 small yellow onion, finely diced
2 ears fresh corn, kernels cut off the cob
2 to 3 tablespoons butter
2 tablespoons chopped parsley
Kosher salt and fresh cracked black pepper

Melt butter in a large skillet over medium-low heat. Add potatoes and onion and sauté for 2-3 minutes until fragrant. Add the corned beef and the fresh corn. Spread the mixture evenly in the pan, let brown on one side (about 3-4 minutes without disturbing); turn with a spatula and brown the other side. Continue turning until most of the meat and potatoes are well-browned. Drain off any excess fat and season with salt and pepper to taste. Garnish with fresh parsley. Great with poached eggs!!
