Bruschetta
Bruschetta is so simple to make, I almost feel a little silly for blogging about it….almost. But with all this warm and sunny Spring weather we have had this year here in Virginia ,I feel inspired to share my Bruschetta with you. It’s a small morsel loaded with flavor. Between the juicy fresh tomatoes, fragrant basil, crunchy bell pepper and wonderful garlic it’s almost flavor overload. I would like to recommend using a flavorful aged Balsamic Vinegar because it really makes a big difference in the outcome. Enjoy!
Ingredients:
Bread – French Baguette, toasted
Tomatoes
Red Onion
Yellow Bell Pepper
1 Garlic Clove (1/2 minced, 1/2 for rubbing bread)
Basil leaves
Salt to taste
Balsamic Vinegar
Extra Virgin Olive Oil
Parmigiano Reggiano – shredded
Directions:
Remove seeds from tomatoes. Dice tomatoes, onion, bell pepper, 1/2 of garlic clove, place into small bowl. Chop basil leaves and add to tomatoes. Season with salt to taste. Add a small amount of Balsamic Vinegar. Toss together and drain off some of excess liquids. Set aside.
Slice french bread and toast. While toast is still hot, rub toast with the remaining 1/2 garlic clove. Top toast with tomatoes, drizzle with a little more Balsamic Vinegar, olive oil and top with shredded Parmigiano Reggiano. Serve immediately. Enjoy!

I love bruschetta and that looks so good!!
Thank you Tara 🙂 It was delicious!
Your bruschetta looks wonderful! I am starving looking and imagining how I eat it! I also make garlicky toasts often (including rye bread, BTW) – so good. 🙂
Nadia – I’ve never had garlic on Rye bread…I have to try that!
Oh ya, it’s good, especially with soups. I’m so busy these days digging in the garden that I had no chance to make your Ymerdrys yet, but while digging I “invented” a lot of dishes with it, including desserts. It is a really versatile preparation, good for almost anything.:)
Don’t feel silly, I do love bruschetta and your variation here does look tasty! Always a welcome dish at the table. Your picture really is enticing. Have a great day!
It’s simple to make and it looks fabulous!
