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!

Easy Garlic Bread Bruschetta Recipe

Italian bread, (1/2-inch thick)

olive oil

garlic, (cut in half)

grape

parmesan cheese

basil

garlic, (minced)

salt and fresh ground pepper, (to taste)

balsamic vinegar

balsamic glaze, (optional, for topping)

Preheat oven to 400˚F.

Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or foil.

Using a pastry brush, brush each slice of bread with olive oil; transfer slices to prepared baking sheet, oiled-side down.

Toast bread in the preheated oven for 8 to 10 minutes. Keep an eye on the bread so it doesn’t burn.

Remove from oven; rub the cut side of the garlic cloves over each slice of toasted bread. Set aside.

Transfer diced tomatoes to a mixing bowl.

To the tomatoes, add cheese, basil, and garlic; stir.

Season with salt and pepper.

Add oil and balsamic vinegar; mix until thoroughly combined.

Bruschetta Recipe

garlic,

olive oil, divided

Parmesan cheese

Roma

kosher salt, divided

black pepper, divided

red pepper flakes

baguette,

garlic powder

In a medium-sized bowl, combine minced garlic, 1/2 cup olive oil, Parmesan cheese, diced tomatoes, chopped basil, balsamic vinegar, 1 teaspoon kosher salt, 1 teaspoon black pepper, and red pepper flakes. Stir well and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.

Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Slice the baguette into ½-inch thick pieces. In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, salt, pepper, and garlic powder. Brush the mixture over both sides of the bread slices. Arrange them on a baking sheet and toast in the oven for about 6 minutes, flipping halfway through to ensure even crispiness. Remove from the oven and let cool.

Once the bread slices have cooled, spoon the chilled tomato mixture onto each toast. If desired, sprinkle more Parmesan cheese on top for an extra burst of flavor. Serve immediately and enjoy!
