Garden fresh tomato bruschetta is without doubt my summer time favorite finger food. You only needs 10 minutes to prep this. Its light, fresh, ideal for a summer gathering with friends. An easy Italian starter that is fresh, tasty and full of flavor.

Why you should try tomato bruschetta

A wonderful way to use all the fresh tomatoes and herbs you get at the farmers market.

Garden fresh ripe tomatoes (cherry tomatoes from the garden), fresh basil, and good quality olive oil along with salt & pepper seasoning are all you need to make tomato basil bruschetta. This is probably the EASIEST and SIMPLEST bruschetta recipe.

Roasted tomatoes for bruschetta are great, when extremely fresh beautiful tomatoes are flooded in market. If you think you don’t have time to roast, you got to make bruschetta with fresh tomato. No doubt tomatoes are great eat them raw, roast them – either way.

For vibrant rainbow colors use a mix of yellow and red cherry tomatoes.

How to make tomato bruschetta

If you have the tomatoes prepped and ready (chopped) you can serve bruschetta in literally minutes. Don’t even bother removing the seeds (unless the seeds are super huge or you really really hate the bite of tomato seeds). And we are flavor enhancing these bruschetta with generous rub of garlic onto the French loaf bread.

There are 2 ways of adding flavor of garlic to these amazing bruschetta –

1. you could mince garlic and add it to the tomato filling. You will end up eating raw garlic.
2. you rub generous amount of garlic to the French bread , drizzle with olive oil and grill them. The kick of garlic in the bread is heaven. No more raw garlic smell or taste.

So what are we drizzling on top you may ask? It’s a secret drizzling sauce that you won’t believe how delicious and simple it is. Balsamic glaze drizzled over bruschetta is definitely the best kind of drizzle you might think, but the aim is to keep it very simple with no fancy ingredients, fresh and healthy as possible, so balsamic glaze – be gone!

The left over juices from the tomato basil mix in the bowl which is usually thrown away is what we drizzle over our healthy bruschetta. Bruschetta recipe is remarkably simple. The left over juices in the bowl dresses the bruschetta taking it to a whole new level!

How To Prepare Tomatoes For Bruschetta?

Diced tomatoes makes great bruschetta. We are talking fresh tomato bruschetta and not the roasted types. Also you can leave the seeds on really. Some folks wont agree with me. They believe tomato seeds in bruschetta is a BIG NO. But the seeds really did not bother me in the bruschetta, I hardly got to bite the seeds while eating. Unless the tomatoes that you use has HUGE seeds(that can be annoying to bite into), don’t bother removing. And make use to have cut tomatoes into even dices.

How To Drain Tomatoes For Bruschetta?

Mix diced tomatoes, basil chopped into thin strips, sea salt, cracked pepper and good quality olive oil. Cover and rest it for atleast 1 hour. Tomatoes will absorb all the flavors and release some liquid into the bowl.

Toast French baguette slices and rub garlic on top. Drizzle olive oil. Olive oil helps the bruschetta from turning soggy too fast. You want tomato bruschetta that has crunch from the bread and fresh bite from tomato-basil.

Just before serving scoop out from top tomato-basil mix and spread it over the grilled French baguette slices. You should be serving this immediately.
