Easy Apps - Bruschetta


Ever go to a potluck dinner and have no idea what to bring? Well, look no further--bruschetta is one of those always-impressive yet surprisingly easy appetizers to make. When made correctly, it will always stand out as one of the most vibrant--and delicious--appetizers at any party. The key to making a great bruschetta is using really, really fresh ingredients - nothing canned and definitely no dried herbs.

Whenever I make bruschetta the amount of each ingredient always tends to fluctuate, so most of what you're putting in is going to be until it's to your liking. However, here's a sort of basic recipe/guideline to follow the next time you want to bring a stand-out dish to a party that requires hardly any effort!

Basic Bruschetta

- 1 pint (16oz) grape tomatoes
- 3 cloves garlic
- 2 T Olive Oil (more if needed)
- Large handful of basil leaves (more if desired)
- 1 Baguette
  1. Finely chop the garlic and basil, set aside
  2. Chop the tomatoes and place into a large bowl
  3. Mix in the olive oil and herbs
  4. Chill the mixture until ready to serve
  5. Cut the baguette into 1/4-inch slices, toast, and place a large spoonful of bruschetta on each piece. Enjoy!
