Bruschetta
Classic Bruschetta is an easy favorite of my family’s. My father loves to make this and still uses this recipe years after we first started to use it.
- 8 Roma tomatoes (seeded, finely diced)
- 3 Garlic cloves (finely chopped and)
- 3 Garlic cloves (left whole)
- 5 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
- 2 tbsp Balsamic vinegar
- 3 tbsp fresh basil (finely chopped)
- 3/4 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp pepper
- 1 baguette (2 1/2-3 inches in diameter, cut in about 20 slices)
-
In a large bowl, add the tomatoes, chopped garlic (keep whole cloves for later), olive oil, vinegar, basil, salt and pepper.
-
Stir the ingredients until well-mixed and let them rest at room temperature while you toast the bread.
-
When slices are cool, rub with whole cloves of garlic.
-
Top with tomato mixture.
