Tomato, garlic and basil bruschetta

Tomato bruschetta is a timeless classic. This is the traditional recipe, but you can get creative by adding ingredients like olives, capers, balsamic vinegar, or even cheese shavings.

To use up leftover bread, you can make delicious bruschetta by adding cherry tomatoes or simply olive oil and salt.

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😋

I love bruschetta—they’re the ultimate summer treat! I always want to take them to work, but assembling them can get messy. So I decided to deconstruct them! Here’s bruschetta in a jar. In this version, I used cherry tomatoes, bread, mozzarella balls, olives, and tuna. So delicious!

Classic bruschetta is perfect with just a few ingredients for an everlasting appetizer or snack. Toasted bread and tomatoes are the base, preferably ripe and juicy field tomatoes.

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.

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

Kids love tomatoes. So I made healthy bruschetta.

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.

Bruschetta began as a rustic, simple dish made by farmers to use up stale bread and make it last longer. The name comes from "pane bruscato," meaning toasted bread, topped with extra virgin olive oil and salt. It originated in the Lazio and Abruzzo regions, but now it's enjoyed all over Italy. Each region has its own version, starting with a slice of crunchy country-style bread drizzled with extra virgin olive oil and salt (like the Tuscan fett'unta), and often adding authentic, flavorful ingredients like tomatoes, garlic, sausage, prosciutto, and more. Today, bruschetta is also served as an appetizer or snack to go with drinks and cocktails. August 4th is National Bruschetta Day (Fettunta Day) in Italy, celebrated with traditional festivals in many regions. This simple dish brings together history, local cuisine, traditional products, and ancient customs. As Louis Bromfield said, “Bread is the king of the table and all else is merely the court that surrounds the king. Nations are the soup, the meat, the vegetables, the salad, but bread is king.” In this simple dish, you rediscover the true flavors of popular foods, blending history, cooking, local products, and old traditions.

A tasty idea for a quick, easy, and much-loved appetizer or snack! It’s also a great last-minute side dish. This appetizer goes well with any meal!

Lockdown gave us an opportunity: to take care of our land. We tried to do our best, fertilizing and caring for each tree using only organic products. The result is on our table every day, and for that we are grateful. The land is not hard work, it is life 🌱
