Number Of Ingredients 9

1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
1 1/2 Tbsp minced fresh garlic
26 oz. roma tomatoes, (diced (about 7-8) )
1/4 cup finely shredded parmesan cheese
1 Tbsp balsamic vinegar, (or more to taste)
3/4 tsp kosher salt, (then more to taste)
1/2 tsp freshly ground black pepper
1/4 cup chopped basil ribbons ((chiffonade))
1 (14.5 oz) loaf hearty french bread (such as La Brea), (sliced into 1/2-inch thick slices (about 12 slices))

Steps:

  • For tomato mixture: Heat olive oil in a small skillet or saucepan over medium-low heat. Add garlic and saute until just starting to turn golden (don't brown it), about 1 minute.
  • Pour into a large mixing bowl. Let cool while you chop the tomatoes and basil.
  • Pour tomatoes into bowl with cooled oil mixture. Add parmesan, basil, balsamic vinegar, salt and pepper. Toss mixture well. Serve right away over toasted bread (spoon some of the juices along with it). Garnish with more parmesan if desired.
  • To toast bread*: position oven rack a few inches below broil and preheat broiler. Align bread slices on an 18 by 13-inch baking sheet. Broil first side until golden brown, about 1 minute (don't walk away and keep and eye on them they'll brown quickly), then flip slices to opposite side and broil opposite side until golden brown.

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:

  • Use fresh, ripe tomatoes: The fresher and riper the tomatoes, the better your bruschetta will taste. If you can, use tomatoes that are in season.
  • Dice the tomatoes small: This will help them to release their juices and flavor more easily.
  • Add some salt to the tomatoes: This will help to draw out their juices and concentrate their flavor.
  • Let the tomatoes sit for a while before using them: This will allow them to release even more of their juices and flavor.
  • Use a good quality olive oil: The olive oil is one of the main ingredients in bruschetta, so it's important to use a good quality one. Look for an olive oil that is extra virgin and has a fruity flavor.
  • Toast the bread before using it: This will help to make it crispy and flavorful.
  • Add your favorite toppings: There are many different toppings that you can add to bruschetta, such as basil, garlic, cheese, and prosciutto. Get creative and experiment with different combinations to find your favorite.
