Provided by Beth Pierce

Categories     Fruit Appetizers

Time 20m

Number Of Ingredients 11

3 garden fresh tomatoes diced small
1/2 tsp salt
2 clove garlic minced
1/3 c fresh basil chopped
1/4 tsp fresh ground black pepper
1 Tbsp red wine vinegar (or balsamic vinegar)
2 Tbsp olive oil
1 baguette sliced on a diagonal in 1/2 inch slices
olive oil
1/2 c balsamic vinegar
3 Tbsp brown sugar

Steps:

  • 1. Combine tomatoes and salt in a bowl. Let sit for 20-30 minutes. Drain tomato juice. Add garlic, basil and pepper; stir gently to combine. Drizzle with vinegar and olive oil; stir gently to coat. Let sit for 20-30 minutes at room temperature.
  • 2. Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Brush both sides of the bread with olive oil. Place on a parchment covered baking sheet. Bake for 5 minutes and then flip toasts and bake for 2-3 minutes or until golden brown.
  • 3. Combine balsamic vinegar and brown sugar in a small saucepan over medium heat. Bring to a low boil and simmer for 10 minutes; stirring occasionally. Remove from the heat and let cool for a few minutes.
  • 4. Assemble by spooning the tomatoes on to the toasted baquette slices. Place on a serving platter and lightly drizzle with the balsamic glaze. For best results serve promptly.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality ingredients for the best flavor. Fresh, ripe tomatoes, fragrant basil, and crusty bread will make all the difference.
  • Don't be afraid to experiment with different toppings. Classic bruschetta is delicious, but there are endless possibilities for variation. Try adding grilled vegetables, roasted red peppers, or fresh mozzarella.
  • If you're using a baguette, cut it on a diagonal for a more rustic look.
  • Toast the bread lightly so that it's crispy on the outside and soft on the inside.
  • Use a generous amount of olive oil to keep the bread from getting dry.
  • Top the bruschetta with a sprinkle of flaky salt and freshly ground black pepper.

Conclusion:

Bruschetta is a simple but delicious appetizer or snack that's perfect for any occasion. It's easy to make and can be customized to your liking. So next time you're looking for something quick and easy to whip up, give bruschetta a try. You won't be disappointed.
