Bruschetta is a tasty and easy-to-make dish that can be a great compliment to an Italian entree, a delicious appetizer, or even a platter to serve while entertaining! Our Chef of the month, Gina Sansonia has shared her yummy Bruschetta recipe. Find it below!
Ingredients
Roma tomatoes – small dice (leave seeds & juice that’s the best part!)
Chopped Basil
Cucina Bambina Extra virgin olive oil
Red onion – small dice (optional)
Salt
Pepper
1 clove of garlic – minced (you can use garlic powder if you don’t have fresh garlic)
1 baguette – thinly sliced on a bias
Directions
1. Lightly brush/drizzle olive oil on bread slices.
2. Season bread with salt and fresh pepper, then toast in the oven to a desired crisp.
3. Set aside and allow to cool.
4. In a separate bowl, mix all the ingredients.(You can do this a day or so in advance for the flavors to marinate together. The longer it sits, the better it tastes).
5. When ready to serve, spoon tomato mixture over your toasted bread. (I use a slotted spoon to ensure the bread isn’t too wet).
6. Spoon a little of the juice on top & garnish with extra basil.
7. Assemble when ready to serve & enjoy!
