Fantastic Fennel Bruschetta image

This bruschetta is really delicious, a little different than the average bruschetta. It always gets devoured around my house, or wherever I take it. The fennel seed really makes the dish.

Time 1h30m

Yield 20

Number Of Ingredients 9

6 large tomatoes, diced
½ large sweet Bermuda onion, diced
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 ½ tablespoons fennel seed
⅓ cup minced fresh basil
⅓ cup extra-virgin olive oil
salt and pepper to taste
1 (20 ounce) loaf French bread, sliced 1/2-inch thick
¼ cup extra-virgin olive oil, for brushing

Steps:

  • In a bowl, mix together the tomatoes, onion, garlic, fennel seed, basil, 1/3 cup olive oil, salt, and pepper. Chill for at least 1 hour to blend the flavors.
  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
  • Brush both sides of bread slices with some of the 1/4 cup of olive oil; place slices onto a baking sheet. Toast the bread until golden brown and crunchy on the outside, about 3 minutes per side. To serve, spoon the tomato mixture onto the toasted bruschetta and arrange on a serving platter.

I used a different type of cheese than the recipe called for and it turned out just as good.

I'm not a big fan of fennel, but I really enjoyed this bruschetta. The flavors are very well-balanced.

This fennel bruschetta is a delicious and refreshing appetizer. The combination of sweet fennel, tangy lemon, and salty cheese is perfect.
