Bruschetta always brings back memories of backyard cookouts and summer evenings. Something about the simple combination of the crisp tomatoes, salt, and basil over a toasted crouton makes my mouth water. And it’s easy to make, to boot!

Ingredients for Bruschetta

  • Tomato. Roma are the best for thier firm texture, few seeds, and even less juice. Less juice makes for a more crispy bread. But you can also use cherry, or when in season, ripe hierlooms. Try not to store your tomatoes in the fridge because it kills thier delicate flavor.
  • Basil. Tomatoes and Basil go together like peanut butter and jelly. They’re a match made in heaven.
  • Garlic. When you grate it in, it adds a wonderful flavor. Make sure to use a small piece or you will regret it.
  • Bread. For your wonderful tomato creative, you need the proper vessel. I find Italian baguette be the perfect size for grabbing and stay crispy for a long time.
