Italian Bruschetta

Easy recipe
https://mystudiokitchen.com/pickled-red-onions/

I hadn’t made this in many years and for some reason, I had a hankering for Italian Bruschetta the other day. An Italian classic, loaded with tomatoes, basil, garlic, olive oil and balsamic vinegar – the mouth-watering flavors of summer.

Bruschetta is served on seared thick slices of crusty Italian bread then piled high with the tomato mixture.

What type of tomatoes to use?

I like to use Roma tomatoes because I can cut them in half and easily seed them. Hardcore tomato lovers may want to use a combination of heirloom tomatoes in a variety of colors for a beautiful mixture of yellows, greens and reds.

Another detail is to choose a nice high-quality finishing olive oil – something a little better than the olive oil used in your daily cooking. Because there are so few ingredients, it is important to have every ingredient be as fresh and tasty as possible.

And the next day if you have leftovers… throw the tomatoes from the Bruschetta on top of grilled chicken, with a little sautéed spinach on the side. You won’t be sorry.chicken with bruschetta on top
