Number Of Ingredients 29

Ingredients

2 cups halved cherry tomatoes
1/2 cup pitted bright green olives
1/2 cup pitted black olives
1/4 cup shredded fresh basil
1 tablespoon olive oil
2 cloves garlic, minced
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
Kosher salt
12 ounces button mushrooms, quartered
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh parsley
2 tablespoons chopped fresh thyme
Pinch freshly ground black pepper
2 cloves garlic, minced
6 ounces mini mozzarella balls
1 1/2 teaspoons chopped fresh basil
1 1/2 teaspoons chopped fresh oregano
1/2 teaspoon chopped fresh thyme
1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes
Zest of 1 lemon, peeled in shards
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1/3 cup olive oil, plus more if needed to fill the jar
1 bunch medium asparagus, trimmed if stalks are woody
Olive oil, for drizzling
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 boule
1/2 cup olive oil
Kosher salt

Steps:

For the tomatoes and olives: Add the tomatoes, green and black olives, basil, olive oil, garlic and some salt and pepper to a bowl and mix.
For the marvelous mushrooms: Bring a pot of salted water to a boil. Add the quartered mushrooms and cook for 2 minutes; drain. Add the olive oil, vinegar, parsley, thyme, pepper, garlic and 1/2 teaspoon salt to a bowl and mix. Stir in the mushrooms and let cool, then tip the mixture into a mason jar.
For the marinated mozzarella balls: Add the mozzarella, basil, oregano, thyme, red pepper flakes, lemon zest and some salt and pepper to a mason jar. Top up with the olive oil, put on the lid and shake.
For the roasted asparagus: Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F.
Put the asparagus on a baking sheet, drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Roast until brown in spots and just tender (not overly so--still with a bite), about 10 minutes. Transfer to a serving bowl.
For the bruschetta: Heat a grill pan over medium-high heat.
Cut the boule in half, then cut each half into 1/2-inch slices. Drizzle both sides of the slices with the olive oil and sprinkle with salt. Grill the slices until toasted, about 3 minutes each side.
Arrange the tomatoes and olives, marvelous mushrooms, marinated mozzarella balls, roasted asparagus and bruschetta on a large tray or rimmed baking sheet so everyone can assemble their own.

Tips:

Choose the right tomatoes. Use ripe, flavorful tomatoes for the best bruschetta. Roma tomatoes are a good option because they have fewer seeds and a meaty texture.

Dice the tomatoes finely. You want the tomatoes to be small enough to easily spread on the bread, but not so small that they turn to mush.

Add plenty of flavorings. Use a variety of herbs, spices, and other flavorings to taste your bruschetta. Some popular options include garlic, basil, oregano, salt, and pepper.

Let the bruschetta rest before serving. This will allow the flavors to meld and the bread to absorb the juices from the tomatoes.

Serve the bruschetta immediately. Bruschetta is best enjoyed fresh. If you must make it ahead of time, store it in the refrigerator for up to 2 hours.

Conclusion:

Bruschetta is a delicious and easy-to-make appetizer that is perfect for any occasion. It is a great way to use up fresh tomatoes and herbs, and it can be customized to your own taste. With a few simple tips, you can make the perfect bruschetta every time.
