Best Ever Bruschetta Recipe
This Bruschetta recipe is a fresh and simple appetizer that can be made ahead of time …perfect for easy entertaining year ’round!
Bruschetta is my all time favorite appetizer….and this bruschetta recipe is THE BEST! Bruschetta is typically made with tomatoes ( either canned or fresh), basil, garlic, olive oil and onion. I add balsamic vinegar to ramp up the flavor as you will see when you make this Bruschetta recipe. The flavors improve after it sits in the refrigerator for a day or two so it is a great make ahead recipe. I serve it with my easy homemade crostini and everyone just makes their own appetizer. Add some crumbled Gorgonzola cheese on the side for a perfect accompaniment.

Great recipe!! My husband doesn’t even like tomatoes but he loves this bruschetta
Yum! I like to do mine a little differently. Same recipe, but leave garlic out. At serving time, rub each pc of bread with garlic and toast or broil lightly. Put bruschetta on top & sprinkle with finely shredded Mozzarella. I like to put mine back in the broiler for a short time until cheese begins to melt. Tastes yummy, plus you have a nice warm/cold contrast.
Those are GREAT suggestions! I’ll try it that way the next time I make this. Don’t you just LOVE Bruschetta? Vickie
