If there are kids in the kitchen who want to help out, you can ditch the knives for this easy appetizer; just rip the tomatoes and basil with your hands. The tomato mixture can also be tossed with pasta to make a fresh sauce.From the book "Lucinda's Rustic Italian Kitchen," by Lucinda Scala Quinn (Wiley).

Tips:

  • Use ripe, flavorful tomatoes. This is the key to making a great bruschetta. Look for tomatoes that are deep red and juicy, with no green shoulders.
  • Remove the seeds from the tomatoes. This will help to prevent the bruschetta from becoming too watery.
  • Chop the tomatoes finely. This will help them to distribute their flavor evenly throughout the bruschetta.
  • Use good quality olive oil. This will help to add flavor and richness to the bruschetta.
  • Don't skimp on the garlic. Garlic is a key flavor component in bruschetta. Use at least one clove of garlic per tomato.
  • Toast the bread before assembling the bruschetta. This will help to make the bread crispy and flavorful.
  • Top the bruschetta with fresh basil. Basil is a classic herb that pairs perfectly with tomatoes. It adds a bright, refreshing flavor to the bruschetta.
