Bruschetta

May 6, 2014 by Becky

One of our favorite ways to use tomatoes is in this simple, fresh & delicious bruschetta recipe.  It goes together fast and is beautiful enough to serve to guests.  This is a great way to use tomatoes when you have more than you can share with your neighbors (one of the best problems to have!).

Bruschetta mainToasting the bread in a hot griddle with butter adds even more flavor, and makes them brown beautifully.  This can be done with baguette (used here) for an appetizer size, or french bread for a main dish.

One of the best parts about this bruschetta is its versatility.  If you like more salt, add more salt.  If you want more basil, add more!  You can adapt it to whatever your taste may be, and the wonderful flavors of the tomatoes and basil will always shine through.
