Bruschetta is an Italian staple that will become a regular on your menu. And, for good reason!
It's delicious. Make bruschetta the real Italian way, (Bread, olive oil,
tomatoes, garlic, basil, parmigiano-reggiano, and a lot of times, anchovies)
but know that you can use a lot of different ingredients to vary it as we
have below. You may settle in on a "favorite" way, but know that you, your
family, and your dinner guests will find bruschetta tantalizing.

Our version of Italian Bruschetta
Bruschetta Ingredients:
1 1/2 lbs or so of plum or grape tomatoes, halved, then sliced thinly
1 cup chopped fresh basil leaves (tossed in lemon or lime juice, if desired)
3-4 cloves garlic, sliced thinly. Roasted garlic cloves work really well
here, too. Just cut the top end off, brush the garlic “head” thoroughly with
olive oil, then roast at 375 degrees for about 40 minutes. Roasting ‘tames”
garlic a little, so you can use more!
1/4 cup chopped fresh oregano leaves, (if desired)
Balsamic vinegar, drizzled sparingly over bread before topping with the
other ingredients.
Extra virgin, good quality olive oil, (enough to spread over bread)
(6) 3/4-inch-thick slices of crusty bread. Either Italian rustic or French
works great.
Anchovies, 1 -3 on each slice (if you like them). ½ cup parmigiano-reggiano.
Bruschetta Preparation:
Top Sliced bread with equal amounts of arranged ingredients.
Season to taste with salt and pepper and top with cheese.
Toast under broiler until cheese is melted.
Okay, was that easy enough for you? Trust us. If you've
never made bruschetta, you just have to try this. Don't let the easy
part fool you. Bruschetta is a really great Italian recipe.
Buon appetito always!
