Recipe: Bruschetta
I know I'm rushing the season a little bit because none of my tomatoes have ripened yet, but the weather insisted that I make a big ole plate of bruschetta and crack open a bottle of prosecco.
The ingredient list: 1 French baguette, olive oil, 1 large tomato or a couple Romas, garlic, fresh basil, mozzarella (Bel Gioioso is vegetarian), salt and pepper
Finely dice the tomato
If using something other than Roma tomatoes, leave them to drain for half an hour
chop fresh basil
This sprig got chomped by insects
Combine tomatoes and basil with a couple glugs of olive oil, then hit with a shake of salt and a crack of black peppercorn
Slice the baguette into half-inch pieces and broil until they begin to brown. Rub browned side with garlic and turn over
Top with slices of fresh mozzarella
Pop bread back into the oven for a few minutes - just long enough for the cheese to get good and melty
Spoon tomato mixture over melted cheese and enjoy!

looks wonderful. i know what i'll be making this weekend. thanks for the idea.
Nice idea for a 4th of July snack!
Where do you get prosecco locally?
I usually pick up bottles of prosecco at The Party Source in Bellevue for under $15, although the last bottle I bought was from Trader Joe's of all places - and it was pretty good and a steal at $8.
Looks wonderful! I think Ive found something to do with my window full of basil once pizza margherita (sp?) gets boring.
Can I add red chopped onions to this?
I'll try it without making it a salsa.... ;)
Your version looks good though!
I'd think that red onion would be a nice addition - if you try it let me know how it went!
I like to add red and white onions (just a little of each) along with white beans and balsamic vinegar. I made some today, yummmm...
