GRILLED BRUSCHETTA
This is my go-to appetizer in the summer when tomatoes and basil are fresh from the garden. The balsamic glaze takes this bruschetta recipe over the top. I like to use a Tuscan herb- or basil-infused olive oil for this. But, it's great with just plain olive oil, too. -Brittany Allyn, Mesa, Arizona

Tips:
- Select ripe, flavorful tomatoes. This is key to making the best bruschetta. Look for tomatoes that are deep red in color and have a slightly soft texture.
- Use fresh basil. Basil is a key ingredient in this recipe, so make sure to use fresh leaves. If you don't have fresh basil, you can use dried basil, but the flavor will be less intense.
- Grill the tomatoes and bread. Grilling the tomatoes and bread adds a delicious smoky flavor to the bruschetta. If you don't have a grill, you can broil the tomatoes and bread in the oven.
- Use a good quality olive oil. Olive oil is another key ingredient in this recipe, so make sure to use a good quality oil. Extra virgin olive oil is the best choice.
- Don't overcrowd the grill or pan. When grilling the tomatoes and bread, don't overcrowd the grill or pan. This will prevent them from cooking evenly.
- Serve the bruschetta immediately. Bruschetta is best served immediately after it is made. The bread will start to get soggy if you wait too long.
Conclusion:
Grilled tomato and basil bruschetta is a delicious and easy-to-make appetizer or snack. It is perfect for summer gatherings or any time you want a fresh and flavorful dish. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy recipe, give this grilled tomato and basil bruschetta a try. You won't be disappointed!
