What is bruschetta?

Bruschetta is an Italian appetizer made with fresh tomatoes, garlic, basil, and olive oil that is marinated together. This can be served on toast or in pastas and salads.

Ingredients:

• Tomatoes – I used roma tomatoes from my garden. You can used canned diced tomatoes as well though.
• Balsamic vinegar – Monari Federzoni
• Basil and parsley – I prefer to use fresh basil instead of dried.
• Minced onion – you can also use regular onion
• Bread – I use whatever I have on hand. The staler the better since we will be toasting the bread!

How to make tomato bruschetta bread:

• Make tomato base – this needs time to marinate before serving.
• Toast bread – you can toast large quantities of bread in the oven!
• Assemble – serve your tomato bruschetta with the toasties right out of the oven

Best bruschetta tips:

• Use room temp tomatoes – make sure your tomatoes are room temperature and fresh before beginning this recipe.
• Fresh tomatoes – using fresh roma tomatoes gives a better flavor than canned
• Marinate – allow mixture to marinate before putting on the toast and eating. It does make a difference.
• Assemble as needed – the tomatoes can make the toast soggy if sitting out for a while. It is best to have guests scoop their own bruschetta dip on their own pieces of toast as they please. That way they can also top off their own toast with whatever extra seasonings they want.

What does bruschetta go with:

This goes great with pasta or another Italian dish. You an even serve it on grilled chicken breast or on a salad.
