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.

GARDEN-FRESH BRUSCHETTA (TASTE OF HOME)



Garden-Fresh Bruschetta (Taste of Home) image

Need to use up some tomatoes or have a summer BBQ or potluck to attend? This appetizer will win raves at any occasion.This recipe came from a Taste of Home magazine's 2009 cookbook. It was submitted by Rachel Garcia. The beauty of this brushetta is that it is a hint of garlic but basically is just a fresh garden tomato taste. If you are a garlic person don't just rub the bread with it but mince it in as well. This brushetta will appeal to a wide variety as it is not overly spicy. If you like you can add good quality parmesan shavings. Enjoy! ChefDLH

Categories     Vegetable

Time 25m

Yield 14 brushetta pieces, 14 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 garlic clove, peeled and halved
14 slices French bread (3/4 inch thick)
4 medium tomatoes, seeded and diced
1/4 cup chopped red onion
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 tablespoon minced fresh basil
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon pepper
14 fresh basil leaves (to top)
parmesan cheese, shavings (optional- to top)

Steps:

  • Rub cut side of garlic over one side of each slice of bread.
  • Place bread garlic side down on an ungreased baking sheet.
  • Bake at 350° for 5 minutes on each side or until lightly browned.
  • In a bowl, combine the tomatoes, onion, oil, minced basil, salt and pepper.
  • spoon about 2 tablespoons onto each piece of toast.
  • Top each with a basil leaf.
  • Top with optional Parmesan if you like as well.

Tips:

  • Choose ripe, flavorful tomatoes: The quality of your tomatoes will make a big difference in the final dish, so choose the best you can find.
  • Don't skip the salting step: Salting the tomatoes draws out their excess moisture, which concentrates their flavor and prevents the bruschetta from becoming soggy.
  • Use a variety of toppings: The classic bruschetta topping is tomatoes, basil, and olive oil, but there are many other delicious options to choose from. Try roasted vegetables, fresh mozzarella, or even fruit.
  • Make sure your bread is toasted: Toasted bread is the perfect base for bruschetta, as it provides a crispy contrast to the soft toppings.
  • Drizzle with olive oil and balsamic vinegar: A drizzle of olive oil and balsamic vinegar adds a touch of richness and acidity that perfectly complements the other flavors in the dish.

Conclusion:

Bruschetta is a simple yet delicious dish that is perfect for any occasion. It is easy to make, and it can be customized to your liking. Experiment with different toppings and flavors to find your favorite combination. Buon Appetito!
