Italian Bruschetta. The word bruschetta which is pronounced “broos-ke-ta” comes fron the word bruscare which means “to toast”. This is hands-down one of the most popular appetizers worldwide and the easiest recipe to make. Bruschetta originated in Italy during the 15th century. However, the dish can be traced back to Ancient Rome, when olive growers would bring their olives to a local olive press and taste a sample of their freshly pressed oil using a slice of bread. In Italy, bruschetta is often prepared using a brustolina grill but since I don’t have one, we can use any grill pan we have on hand. This appetizer or antipasti is perfect when you’re hosting, and everyone will be really impressed.
INGREDIENTS
- baguette or any bread cut into 6 slices
- drizzle of olive oil
- salt to taste
- 1.5 cups sliced cherry tomatoes or 1 large heirloom tomato any tomato you enjoy works
- 2-3 ripped or chopped basil leaves
- ½ clove garlic for the bread
- 1 minced garlic clove
INSTRUCTIONS
- Cut the baguette slices, I cut 6 slices, and drizzle each side with a little bit of olive oil. Get a grill pan, oil it up a bit, and on medium-high heat toast the slices on each side until charred.
- Take it iff the grill, cut the garlic clove in half and rub each slice with it. This will give the bread so much aroma and flavour. Slice the cherry tomatoes into quarters, or dice any tomato you like into small pieces. Read More…
