Easy Italian Bruschetta Recipe
If you are looking for a delicious party appetizer that you can make in less than 30 minutes, this Classic Bruschetta recipe is for you. Featuring fresh tomatoes, garlic, and basil sitting on a delicious piece of French Bread toast, this recipe is a real crowd-pleaser!
Ingredients
- 5-6 Roma Tomatoes (diced and deseeded)
- 4-5 Fresh Basil Leaves
- 1/4 cup Parmesan Cheese (shredded)
- Salt and pepper
- 1 clove Garlic
- 1/4 cup Olive Oil
- 1 loaf French Bread
Instructions
- Slice bread and arrange in a single layer on a cooking sheet.
- Cut a garlic clove in half and rub the cut side on each piece of bread. Use a Pastry Brush to lightly cover each bread slice with olive oil.
- Put the bread under the broiler or in the Toaster Oven to lightly toast it. Watch it carefully. You don’t want to burn the toast.
- Cut and deseed the tomatoes and dice into small pieces and add to a medium-sized bowl.
- Chop the basil and add to the tomatoes. Then add the Parmesan cheese. Drizzle in the remaining olive oil and carefully mix together.
- Remove the lightly toasted French Bread from the oven and scoop the tomato mixture onto the bread. Top bruschetta with salt and pepper and serve.
Notes
Ingredient Notes:
Bread: For a perfect bite-sized appetizer, we like to use the Freshly Baked Long French Bread Baguettes from the Bakery section in the grocery store.
Tomatoes: The better the tomatoes, the better the Bruschetta. We use On-the-Vine Roma Tomatoes.
Cheese: Classic Bruschetta tastes best with freshly grated Parmesan Cheese. But in a pinch, you could use some from pre-grated packages that you can find in the cheese section of the grocery store.
Basil: You really are going to want Fresh Basil for this recipe, dried is just not going to taste as good.
