This bruschetta with three different toppings will take you less than 15 minutes to put together.
And did you know that the the grilled bread for bruschetta is actually best made ahead?
So convenient for entertaining!
There are endless bruschetta recipes out there.
Google bruschetta recipes and youll be returned with 19.4 million hits.
And Im betting that 98% of them arent authentic Italian ones!
And Ive eaten and made my fair share of non-authentic bruschetta (eg.
ricotta with grilled peach drizzled with honey…oh my!).
But you cant beat the real deal, the way its made in Italy.
Nothing fancy about them, just bruschetta done the way Italian Mamas make them every day.
This spread will take you less than 15 minutes to put together.
No garlic, no lemon, no red wine vinegar.
The garlic flavour comes from rubbing the bread with garlic.
This is real Italian Tomato and Basil Bruschetta.
The combination of celery and lime is a revelation.
To make a great bruschetta, there are 3 rules:
1.
The bread needs to toast well so it is crunchy but wont disintegrate when you bite into it.
This is so convenient for feeding a crowd and makes the bread fantastically crunchy.
No more furious mixing of butter with minced garlic!
Fresh produce it goes without saying so Ill keep this short and sweet: crappy tomatoes =crappymediocre bruschetta.
(PS Still edible.
But it just aint the same.
Sorry, no way around it.
Same goes with any other bruschetta topping made with fresh produce.
Oh wait, I have one more rule:
4.
Be generous with the Olive Oil and Seasoning.
Now is not the time to count calories.
Bruschetta with a teeny drizzle of olive oil is like a sausage roll with a drop of tomato sauce.
Here are the recipes.
I ended up posting them separately to make it easier to find them later.
Hope you enjoy them!
They are so incredibly fast to make each of the toppings only take a few minutes.
They are great entertaining staples!
