Time 1h30m

Yield 12 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

4 tablespoons olive oil
5 cloves garlic, finely minced
1 pint red grape tomatoes, halved lengthwise
1 whole baguette or crusty loaf
1 pint yellow grape tomatoes, halved lengthwise
1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
16 whole fresh basil leaves, plus more as needed, chiffonade
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 stick butter

Steps:

  • In a small skillet, heat the oil over medium-high heat. Add the garlic and stir, lightly frying for about a minute, removing before the garlic gets too brown (it can be golden). Pour the garlic and oil into a mixing bowl and allow to cool slightly.
  • Add the red and yellow tomatoes, balsamic and basil to the bowl. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Toss to combine, and then taste and add more basil if needed, and more salt if needed (don't over salt, though!) Cover and refrigerate for an hour or two if you have the time.
  • Cut the baguette into diagonal slices to allow for the most surface area possible. Melt 4 tablespoons of the butter in a large skillet and grill half the bread on both sides, making sure they're nice and buttery. Cook until golden brown on both sides. Repeat with the remaining 4 tablespoons butter and the other half of the bread.
  • To serve, give the tomato mixture a final stir, and then spoon generously over the slices of bread. Serve on a big platter as a first course or appetizer.

Tips:

  • Select ripe tomatoes: Use ripe, juicy tomatoes for the best flavor. Look for tomatoes that are deep red and have a slight give when you gently squeeze them.
  • Use good-quality olive oil: Extra virgin olive oil is the best choice for bruschetta. It has a fruity, peppery flavor that will complement the other ingredients.
  • Toast the bread: Toasting the bread will help it to hold up better under the toppings and give it a nice, crispy texture.
  • Don't overload the bruschetta: A few simple toppings are all you need to make a great bruschetta. Don't pile on too many ingredients, or the flavors will get lost.
  • Serve immediately: Bruschetta is best served immediately after it is made. The bread will start to get soggy if you let it sit for too long.

Conclusion:

Bruschetta is a delicious and easy-to-make appetizer that is perfect for any occasion. With just a few simple ingredients, you can create a dish that is both flavorful and visually appealing. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy snack or appetizer, give bruschetta a try. You won't be disappointed!
