Fantastic appetizer to a 4th of July grilled steak dinner. The only thing that I changed was adding a bit of salt, nothing else. After tasting the tomato mixture, I almost added more red wine vinegar. Glad I didn’t, because the balsamic drizzle brought just the perfect balance of acidity to this bruschetta. Thoroughly enjoyed, thanks for sharing! And it really is “light and fresh.”
-
I have made this and yes I would add a little salt. I found this to be the best recipe. I did sprinkle a little parm cheese after I put it on the bread.
-
Such a delicious, and refreshing recipe! I found the combination of flavors spot on for me. The only change I made was served this on my own homemade basil pesto crostinis. Thank you, it’s a keeper!
-
Very tasty. I was out of balsamic vinegar, so I had to skip that.
I added a dash of garlic powder for a little extra garlic flavor. -
Made per recipie, i must say in every resturant i’ve cooked for it was baked, so after marinating in fridge was kinda bland.
-
Instead of grilling the bread under the broiler, I grilled it lightly on the barbecue. I also drizzled balsamic reduction over the top right before serving. Delicious!!!
-
Did not change a thing. This was absolutely delicious as written! Go make this right now you will love. Thanks so much for a great recipe!
-
Amazing, easy recipe!
-
I made it exactly like the recipe and it came out delicious!
-
I added fresh grated parmesan and topped it with mozzarella, then I broiled it for a few minutes. It became an instant hit with everyone. Without a doubt one of the best bruschettas I’ve had.
-
Delish! Just like when I was in Italy
-
Very simple, very good.
-
I added a little salt, but this tasted fresh and delicious!
-
Amazing!! So easy and delicious! Everyone loved it.
-
The only I did different was To lightly toast one side and then rotated the bread and put the olive oil on the second side and toasted like the directions said.
-
Excellent! Highly recommended.
-
Great recipe, but I recommend a practice run first so the second time will be perfect with the minor changes we all make. Cheese also makes a great addition if you want it a bit more salty, but adding cheese and salt may make it too salty. Little changes is what makes food yours, but without guidance and basic directions it can be much more difficult to make a classic dish the way it’s meant to be before making the magic.
-
Assignment.
-
I followed the recipe exactly, except for drizzling the balsamic on top. It was absolutely delicious! This is my go to recipe for bruschetta, as it?s light and fresh.
-
Loved it.
-
I loved the end result, but I only gave it 4 stars because I had to add about 3/4 teaspoon of salt and some Parmesan cheese. The base recipe was a touch bland for me.
-
Super disappointed after doing all that work. I?ve been hungry for Bruschetta for a while since our local restaurant hasn?t put it on their menu yet this summer, I decided to make it with a bunch of locally grown tomatoes. It was ok, but pretty bland, even with some shredded permesian and salt added. It seems like something else was missing – maybe it was the difference in fresh vs. dried basil? (the store was out of fresh). This recipe make a LOT and it?s just my dh and me eating it. I need to figure out what to add so it doesn?t get wasted! P.S. I even made homemade baguette from this site.
