Fresh Bruschetta

Hello!  Do you love to entertain or enjoy light appetizer pre-entrée?  One dish you cannot go wrong with is a fresh, flavorful Bruschetta.  Bruschetta is an Italian dish that only requires a few ingredients and is absolutely delicious!  It also is perfect as a starter to serve guests, or as an appetizer or light lunch.  

To prepare, you will need:

4-5 cloves fresh garlic

1 small or 1/2 one large white onion

1 handful of basil 

1/2 handful of fresh oregano

4-6 Roma tomatoes 

olive oil

1 large loaf of rustic bread such as a French baguette or Italian ciabatta 

garlic salt to taste

Begin by slicing your bread into thin pieces approximately 1/2 inch thick.  Arrange bread pieces on a large baking sheet.   Drizzle each piece of bread with a scant amount of olive oil. Set aside.

Peel your garlic.

Mince.

Peel your onion and mince.

Gather your basil and oregano.

Mince.

You can chop your tomatoes for smaller pieces of bread.  If you opt to use larger ciabatta, you may thinly slice if you like.  In a large bowl, combine the herbs, onions, and garlic and tomatoes.  Season with garlic salt to your liking.  

Add the mixture to each of your bread slices and bake in the oven until the bottoms of the bread pieces are crusty, or until golden brown.  You may opt to drizzle with balsamic vinegar if you like.  Enjoy!

 

The herbs, tomatoes, and onion were harvested fresh from my garden.  If you would like to read about the construction of my raised garden beds, you may click here.
