This simple Italian tomato bruschetta is one of my favorite starter dishes for gathering with friends. It is simply refreshing, tasty and full of flavour😋

Had this appetizer at the Italian Palace in Lakeland, FL and loved it so much I made it at home!

My own version of bruschetta. I had such delicious bruschetta from an Italian market in Fort Lauderdale Fla., I tried to copy it.

#nonindianAn Italian appetizer fresh,tasty and full of flavours. Slices of crusty rustic bread are brushed with butter and rubbed with garlic,toasted on a grill or broiled in an oven and topped with various toppings.You can easily make it your way. Here I have used slices of an homemade rustic garlic bread. Used some juicy tomatoes and lots of fresh cottage cheese. A total healthy appetiser.

I am a huge fan of tennis and Rafa’s!! 🙂 who ever enjoys tennis would know who he his..:), I played tennis most of my life and would have continued to play if I wasn’t hit by a car a couple of years ago…but that’s another story and I won’t go into that now, I am fine no issues with my arm I just can’t play anymore.Anyway, once the tennis season starts I am in front of the tv rooting for Rafa, and I kind of really get involved in the whole match by jumping when Rafa wins and maybe a bit of yelling after all I am a fan. hahaha 🙂 🙂 🙂 Since the season has started I enjoy making appetisers to eat while I am watching the match or matches. I do enjoy watching other tennis players like Federer, Dimitrov Murray, Wawrinka, Tsonga Goffin, F. Fognini, Baghatis and many more.So, this is one appetiser that I enjoy making, the combination of the sun dried tomatoes with olive oil, soooo yummy and one more appetiser which I will post later Oven Baked Feta Cheese. 🙂 Both delicious and quick I hope you enjoy this recipe 🙂

I like to use fresh ingredients, and do all the prep work my self. (ie: dice my own fresh garlic) but for this receipe I used a pre diced jar of garlic and I used pre made crostini. I didn't have any French bread or garlic. It still turned out fabulous.

Since lots of tomatoes were given to me, I tried to come up with an easy recipe that would let me use them up.Add chili sauce if you'd like. It will be delicious as well. It will also be good on crackers instead of slices of French baguette. Recipe by suzu-ren

My husband and I have been trying to perfect it and I think I have it. Besides the creaming of the goat cheese!!

I didn't have much here to really work with to make myself something other then a light snack. I also didn't have fresh basil or garlic cloves. I used what I had on hand to make these and use up the rest of my bread, my last tomato and onion. This is what I ended up with along with some croutons I made. Recipe for those later! I liked this BUT it definitely needed more garlic and fresh basil would have made it better. Still enjoyed it though!

Everyone has there own take on this and I cannot believe how much its costs in a resturant. So quick and easy to make at home as a quick snack or a finger food while having drinks before a special dinner party - WOW Enjoy.

This great as a appetizer and snack. I made it for my husband and I as entrée for our father's day dinner. Tastes great if left in the fridge for a few hours I left it there for about 5 hours.
