Time 45m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

Ingredients

6 roma tomatoes, diced
2 cloves garlic, chopped
2 cloves garlic, peeled
3 tablespoons olive oil
2 1/4 teaspoons balsamic vinegar
2 tablespoons chopped fresh basil
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon fresh cracked pepper
8 slices Italian bread, cut about 1 inch thick
2 tablespoons grated parmigiano-reggiano cheese

Steps:

Whisk together chopped garlic, vinegar, salt, pepper, and basil.
When combined slowly drizzle in oil.
Add tomatoes and let sit for 20 minutes at room temp.
Meanwhile back at the bat cave, toast the bread.
This can be done either in the toaster (if it's got really wide slots) or under the broiler (if using this method watch closely so it doesn't become a brickette).
When the bread is toasted rub each piece, on one side, with the whole garlic pieces.
Place the bread on a cookie sheet and top with tomato mixture.
Sprinkle on a little cheese and broil till the cheese melts (you can skip that last broiling bit and it's equally as wonderful).
Serve immediately.
The tomato mixture also makes a wonderful vinegrette for an antipasto salad.
Enjoy!

Tips:

Use ripe, flavorful tomatoes: The quality of your tomatoes will make a big difference in the taste of your bruschetta. Choose tomatoes that are deep red and juicy, with no blemishes.
Toast the bread well: The bread should be crispy on the outside and chewy on the inside. Toasting it will also help it to hold up better under the toppings.
Don't skimp on the olive oil: Olive oil is essential for adding flavor and richness to bruschetta. Use a good quality extra virgin olive oil.
Use fresh basil: Fresh basil adds a bright, herbaceous flavor to bruschetta. If you don't have fresh basil, you can use dried basil, but it won't be as flavorful.
Season the tomatoes well: Salt and pepper are essential for bringing out the flavor of the tomatoes. You can also add a pinch of garlic powder or red pepper flakes for extra flavor.
Don't overload the bruschetta: Too many toppings can make the bruschetta soggy. Stick to a few simple, flavorful ingredients.
Serve the bruschetta immediately: Bruschetta is best served fresh, so make it just before you're ready to eat it.

Conclusion:

Bruschetta is a delicious and easy-to-make appetizer or snack. It's perfect for parties, potlucks, or just a casual get-together. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can create a delicious bruschetta that everyone will love. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy appetizer, give bruschetta a try.
