tomato bruschetta recipe

Tomato bruschetta is the best known type of bruschetta, out of all the variations existing in Italian cuisine. It is also one of the easiest Italian recipes to prepare, in just a few simple steps. However, there are a couple of tips we want to share here with you, so that you can serve the most delicious bruschetta.
It all starts from the selection of bread and tomatoes. Quality is key when ingredients are this simple. Although it is served in restaurants all year around, Italian bruschetta is best prepared with summer seasonal tomatoes.

Method

  • Finely and evenly dice the tomatoes
  • Thinly slice one garlic clove
  • Dices tomatoes in a bowl

To prepare the real Italian tomato bruschetta recipe, first of all, finely and evenly dice the tomatoes and also thinly slice or chop one garlic clove.

  • In a bowl, mix the tomatoes with garlic
  • In a bowl, mix the tomatoes with garlic and add salt and pepper
  • Tear the basil leaves with your hands for a tasty tomato bruschetta

In a bowl, mix the tomatoes, garlic and basil (tear the basil leaves with your hands) with salt and also pepper.

  • Add extra virgin olive oil in the bowl with tomatoes and basil
  • Stir all of the ingredients of the tomato bruschetta (tomatoes, basil, garlic and olive oil) and leave the mix to rest
  • To make tomato bruschetta, super tasty italian recipes, slice the loaf into 1.5 cm pieces

Add extra virgin olive oil, stir all of the ingredients and leave the mix to rest at room temperature for 20-30 minutes to let the flavours settle. The tomato juices mixed with the seasoning will create a tasty dressing that you can add on top of your tomato bruschetta as a final touch; most importantly: try not to leave the mixture marinating for too long, otherwise it will become watery. Slice the loaf into 1.5 cm pieces and also make sure the slices are not too thin or the bread will become too dry when toasted.

  • Brush one side of each bread slice with extra virgin olive oil
  • Rub the garlic on the grilled bread
  • Spoon the tomatoes over the loaf bread slices
  • Add a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil to make a perfect tomato bruschetta one of the real italian recipes

Brush one side of each slice with olive oil and grill in a fan assisted oven for 5-7 minutes at 392°, until the slices are lightly browned around the edges. Rub the garlic on the grilled bread to add flavour. You can skip this step, if the garlic on the tomato mixture is flavoursome enough for you. Spoon the tomatoes over the slices. Add a drizzle of oil and a spoonful of the juices sitting on your bowl. Garnish each tomato bruschetta with a little basil leaf to add a touch of colour.

Cooking Tips

tomato bruschetta (italian recipes) ingredients: plum tomatoes and fresh basil
  1. For the best tasting experience, only use seasonal ingredients: basil and tomatoes are the most flavourful between June and September, and reach their peaks in August.
  2. You can mix different types of heirloom tomatoes to give your tomato bruschetta recipe an array of flavours, going from sweet to sour. Cherry tomatoes are also perfect.
  3. Use a quality extra virgin olive oil. It can be fruity as well.
  4. Add a teaspoon of vinegar if you like it sour. You can also use traditional balsamic vinegar (widely used in Italian recipes) but avoid a vinegar based dressing.
  5. Use baguettes for a smaller size bruschetta and serve them as finger food. This Italian tomato bruschetta recipe provides three servings per person.
  6. Alternatives to using the oven to toast your bread are the grill, the pan or the barbecue.

Storage

Tomato bruschetta should be consumed immediately after preparation. The bread tends to quickly absorb the tomato juices and become moist while the tomatoes will taste more acidic and will rapidly soften if left for the following day.

Is always time for a good focaccia! In Liguria peo Is always time for a good focaccia!
In Liguria people eat the classic focaccia even with cappuccino at breakfast. At lunch focaccia is delicious filled with typical cold cuts and cheese and it’s also perfect during the aperitivo, topped with onions, tomatoes, olives or potatoes and cut into small pieces so you can taste many flavors! .
