Bruschetta Recipe

Bruschetta (pronounced brew-SKET-tah) is an Italian appetizer or antipasti that starts with a base of toasted or grilled bread. The bread is then served warm either with a topping spooned over or with a topping on the side so each person can build their own bruschetta. Bruschetta is meant to be served as a hand-held finger food, large enough for one or two bites.

This top-rated bruschetta recipe proves that summertime gives you perfectly ripe and juicy tomatoes, one of the best ways to enjoy them is also one of the easiest.

What kind of tomatoes should I use in Bruschetta?

Juicier tomatoes work, but drier varieties like roma are really perfect. In fact, drying tomatoes a bit is key for bruschetta. The key is to keep the toast like toast should be: Dry. When you use juicy tomatoes, you will no doubt get a powerful (and delicious) tomato result, but if the tomatoes are too wet, the toast will be soggy.
