Easy Bruschetta Recipe
Today, I have for you a super simple and easy bruschetta recipe that I’ve been making for years. To me, bruschetta is the ultimate appetizer because everyone loves it. I haven’t met anyone who doesn’t and I’m sure you’ll say the same thing once you start serving this recipe up. This recipe is bright and fresh, one that is so tasty you’ll forget how light it is. Although I admit that I have purchased bruschetta mixes in the past, trust me I don’t know what possessed me, it is probably one of easiest appetizers you can make. Basically all you have to do is chop and mix. So scroll on for this simply delectable antipasto.
What Is Bruschetta?
Bruschetta is an Italian appetizer that is made up of grilled bread and topped with tomatoes mixed with olive oil, garlic, and salt. In my recipe I like to incorporate fresh red onion, fresh basil, sharp Parmesan cheese, and lots of fresh olive oil. This easy bruschetta is perfect for those who want a light course to start off a big meal, or for those craving a quick healthy snack packed full of flavor.
Baguette – A fresh bread is perfect, grilled till is has a nice crunch. Tomatoes – I used Roma tomatoes for this recipe but feel free to use any fresh tomatoes you’d like. Garlic – Use as much or little fresh garlic as you like. Onion – Today I used red onion as I find it has the best flavor raw. Basil – Fresh basil leaves are best but dried basil will work as well. Thai basil has quite a different flavor profile so be sure to look for Italian basil. Parmesan cheese – We want fresh sharp cheese, Parmesan or Pecorino is perfect. Salt and black pepper – To taste. Olive oil – We want a good quality extra virgin olive oil for this recipe.
Storing Leftovers
Bruschetta is best served fresh, however if you have leftovers, store it (not on bread) in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Do not leave bruschetta out for more than 2 hours.
