Originating from Italy, Bruschetta is truly one of the most popular and beloved dishes globally. Here we present Bruschetta mit Tomaten und Knoblauch, a delightful twist introducing a fresh new flavor to an age-old classic. The tomato, garlic, and basil combo is simply simpler to bring together and full of the freshness of ripe tomatoes and the tangy aroma of garlic.
Ingredients:
- 10 cherry tomatoes, finely diced
- 2 cloves of garlic, minced
- 1 small red onion, finely chopped
- 6 fresh basil leaves, finely chopped
- 2 tablespoons of olive oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 baguette, sliced into 1/2 inch rounds
- 1/4 cup of melted butter
- 1/2 cup of freshly grated parmesan cheese
Preparation:
- Prepare the Base: Combine tomatoes, garlic, red onion, basil, olive oil, salt, and pepper in a bowl. Allow it to sit for about 20 minutes, allowing all the flavors to blend together. Next, preheat your oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Brush one side of each baguette slice with melted butter, then place them buttered-side up on a baking sheet. Toast the baguette slices in the preheated oven until golden, about 10 minutes.
- Serve and Garnish: Once the baguette slices are toast, arrange them on a serving platter. Scoop a spoonful of the tomato mixture onto each slice. Sprinkle each bruschetta with Parmesan cheese. The slices should be served immediately to maintain their crispy texture. They make a perfect accompaniment to any meal or can be enjoyed on their own with a glass of wine.
Tip:
To enhance the dish, use freshly picked, ripe cherry tomatoes. They are much sweeter and will give your bruschetta a fresh, summery taste. Also, consider using a high-quality olive oil, it can make a huge difference in the taste of the finished dish.
