bruschetta recipe

Bruschetta with Tomato and Basil, one of my favorite way to use up my summer tomatoes is with this simple appetizer or side dish.

Bruschetta with Tomato and Basil

plum tomatoes (diced)

garlic (minced)

onion

tbsp extra virgin olive oil

tbsp balsamic vinegar

olive oil spray

basil leaves (chopped)

kosher salt

black pepper

oz baguette bread

garlic

Combine tomatoes, chopped garlic, red onion, vinegar, oil, salt, pepper, and basil.

Set aside.

Slice bread into 1/2 inch thick slices.

Place on a tray and spray lightly with olive oil.

Toast bread under broiler, until golden, watching closely not to let it burn.

When bread is toasted, rub each piece with whole garlic clove.

Place bread on a platter and top with tomato mixture.

Serve immediately or the bread will become soggy.

Follow our simple recipe to prepare the perfect bruschetta, ideal for a light lunch or to serve up as an aperitivo at an Italian dinner party.

Our Classic Bruschetta Recipe

½ red onion, finely diced

tomatoes, roughly chopped

garlic cloves, crushed

basil leaves, roughly torn

milliliters balsamic vinegar

4tbsp extra virgin olive oil

Salt and black pepper,

ciabatta baguette

Combine the onion, tomatoes, garlic and basil in a large bowl. Mix them together but try not to let the tomatoes disintegrate too much. 

Pour in the olive oil and balsamic vinegar and season with a little salt and pepper. Place the mixture in the fridge to chill for about an hour. 

When you’re ready to serve your bruschetta, slice your ciabatta diagonally into 8 or 12 equal pieces. Toast them under the grill so that they lightly brown on both sides. Divide the tomato mixture between the slices evenly and serve on the freshly toasted bread. Buon appetito!

For a sensational twist on bruschetta, add simple delicacies - like chargrilled vegetables and salty salami.

Bruschetta is my all time favorite appetizer.  This was by FAR the best bruschetta recipe I've tried.

This recipe was a hit! It felt like we were dining in a fancy restaurant. Thank you for another awesome recipe!

Yummy! This is so fresh and tasty! Love the dressing on the bruschetta. Wonderful tang and so absolutely delicious!

This was SO good, I could have eaten the whole thing with a fork!

I am obsessed with bruschetta! It's my favorite summer lunch!

Wow! I can’t believe this fabulous recipe that’s been shared over 1700 times only had 30 people take the time to rate it! It’s delicious. We compared it to our favorite restaurant’s and it is on par. I did use a store bought balsamic glaze because I wanted to try it and, although I love balsamic vinegar, I do not like how it smells in the house after reducing it on the stovetop.
The tip to salt, wait, and drain the tomatoes is a great one. 
Thanks for the keeper recipe. It was a hit!

I’ve been trying to mimic my favorite restaurants bruschetta for years! This tastes just like it and is so good. Added this to my recipe book. :)

Fantastic! I added a little red onion too!

Absolutely delicious! I'd like to make this ahead of time in future. If I toast the baguette the night before, what's the best to way to store it for the next day? And will it be as good?

This was delicious! We really enjoyed both making and eating it!

Fresh ingredients that make a perfect summer appetizer or snack.  This easy bruschetta is fabulous!

This was the perfect summer meal. So easy to make too.

This was amazing! Homemade French bread, garden tomatoes, and freshly picked basil. I used elephant garlic instead of regular garlic because it is fairly mild with a slight oniony undertone.  It was devoured in no time.

This is the best recipe! I used Roma tomatoes and RWV and it was absolutely delicious! This will be my new bruschetta recipe!

This super simple but delicious Italian Bruschetta Recipe is the perfect summer treat! It comes together easily with fresh and flavorful ingredients.

Bruschetta Recipe

extra virgin olive oil (divided)

Roma tomatoes (diced (465 grams))

basil leaves (thinly sliced (10 grams))

In a small skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil and the garlic over medium-low heat until the garlic is very fragrant, about 2 to 3 minutes. (Do not brown the garlic.) Remove from heat and transfer to a medium mixing bowl to cool for a few minutes.

To the cooled garlic oil, stir in the tomatoes, basil, vinegar, salt, and pepper. Let marinate for at least 30 minutes and up to 4 hours.

Preheat the oven to 400°F. Lightly brush both sides of the baguette slices with the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil and place on a baking sheet in a single layer. Toast the bread until golden brown, about 12 minutes, turning halfway through baking.

Top the toast baguette slices with the marinated tomatoes and serve immediately.

Fresh tomatoes and garden-grown basil come together to create the most delicious and EASY Bruschetta recipe. Use bagel chips or toasted bread to dip, or add this mixture to pasta with cheese!

Roma tomatoes (diced)

garlic (about 9 cloves, chopped (not pressed))

red wine vinegar

Melba Toast (or bagel chips)

Mix tomatoes, basil, garlic and cheese until each bite has a sufficient amount of each. Add more if necessary. Toss in salt and pepper,red wine vinegar and stir. Add olive oil. Should be nice and shiny. Let sit in refrigerator to allow flavors to mingle. Enjoy!

To make bruschetta bread, hollow out a loaf of french bread. Spoon in the bruschetta and top with an extra 1/2 cup of shredded parmesan cheese. Bake in a 450 degree oven for about 10 minutes, until cheese is melted and bread is toasted. Cut and enjoy.

For pasta, prepare noodles according to package (I like angel hair pasta). Grill chicken with salt and pepper. Slice into thin strips. Heat bruschetta in microwave for about 2-3 minutes, until warmed. Serve over warm pasta with chicken strips and extra parmesan cheese. Enjoy!

This was so delicious and the fresh basil was key!! We didn’t have any red vinegar, but it was still amazing and we also served it on cut baguette pieces. Thanks for the great recipe!

Delicious recipe and I loved the addition of Parmesan for a salty hit!

This is my go-to recipe for bruschetta! So easy to make and delicious!

Grilling the bread makes the toppings taste so good! We love a good tradition antipasto like this!

I've made this numerous times and it never lasts long! This is such a delicious recipe. Thank you!

That little hint of vinegar in these just takes them over the top, so delicious!

Bruschetta is a classic Italian appetizer featuring toasted bread topped with a fresh, vibrant mix of diced tomatoes, basil, garlic, and Parmesan, all brought together with a touch of olive oil and balsamic vinegar. This simple yet flavorful dish is perfect for any gathering, adding a delightful burst of Mediterranean flavors to your table.

Parmesan cheese (freshly grated)

roma (plum tomatoes, diced)

Gather all ingredients together.
