Bruschetta Recipe

  • Tomato bruschetta will always be best served during the summertime, however, its better to use cherry tomatoes in other seasons. Cherry tomatoes are considered to be the most consistent of all tomatoes.
  • Most tomatoes are quite juicy. When you toss diced tomato with salt, the juice exits the tomatoes, and you can end up with a watery bowl of tomatoes.
  • We don’t want soggy bruschetta, so pour off the excess juice before seasoning it at the end. This doesn’t take any extra time and produces a more flavorful and consistent end result.
  • Oiling the bread ensures that both sides are golden brown and crispy. The oil also helps repel tomato juice so your toasts stay crisp.
  • Once the bread is good and toasted, remove it from the oven and use a pastry brush to paint each slice of bread with olive oil. Then, using half a hunk of raw garlic, rub one side of the crusty slices down to impart some delicious garlic flavour directly onto the bread.
  • Serve promptly.
