Time 15m

Yield 16

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 loaf bread (crusty Italian, sliced 3/4-inch thick, about 16 pieces)
2 tbsp. olive oil
2 cups tomatoes (fresh, chopped)
2 tbsp. basil (chopped)
4 cloves garlic (chopped very fine)
1/2 tsp. salt
1 oz. cheese (mozzarella, shaved)

Steps:

  • Gather the ingredients.
  • To begin with, combine the chopped tomatoes, basil, garlic, and salt in a small bowl and lightly toss together. Set aside.
  • Set the oven to the broil setting. Place the bread slices in a single layer on a large baking sheet coated with a small amount of cooking spray or olive oil. Using a basting brush, brush a small amount of the olive oil on the top of each slice of bread.
  • Place the bread in the oven and broil for about 1 minute, or just until the bread becomes lightly toasted.
  • Remove the bread from the oven, and spoon about 2 tablespoons of the tomato mixture on each slice. Top each with a couple of shaves of the mozzarella cheese. Return the bread to the oven and broil the bruschetta for another 30 seconds. Watch the bruschetta carefully during this time to make sure it does not burn. Remove the bruschetta when the cheese becomes melted, and the edges of the bread are lightly browned and toasted.
  • Remove the bruschetta to a plate or a wire rack to cool just for a few minutes, and then serve immediately.

TOMATO AND BASIL BRUSCHETTA



Tomato and Basil Bruschetta image

My first culinary "success." This recipe came from a great book _Cucina Amore_, and is often requested by friends and family.

Provided by BothFex

Categories     Vegetable

Time 45m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

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!
