Bruschetta brings the vibrant taste of Italy to any appetizer spread. This no-fuss starter is simplicity at its best: Juicy tomatoes tossed with fresh basil, garlic and the best olive oil<\/a> you can get a hold of, all heaped on top of gorgeously toasted bread.<\/p>\n When a recipe calls for so few ingredients, you want to use the best you can find so they each shine through. Summer is peak season for the best tomatoes and the freshest basil, which is why this is a perfect dish for backyard picnics, cookouts and potlucks. But you can make bruschetta any time of year with grocery store finds.<\/p>\n One of our favorite Italian recipes<\/a>, bruschetta is considered an antipasto, or appetizer. Traditionally, bruschetta is simply grilled bread (the word “bruschetta” means “to roast over coals”) rubbed with garlic cloves and drizzled with really good extra virgin olive oil.<\/p>\n But now bruschetta recipes<\/a> vary endlessly, with toppings like fresh tomato, as with this recipe, to cheeses, jams, cured meats and more. Sweet or savory, vegetarian or not, the secret to making the tastiest bruschetta is to use high-quality ingredients.<\/p>\n In a large bowl, whisk together the olive oil, basil, garlic, salt and pepper. Add the tomatoes and gently toss to coat. Top with cheese, then place in the refrigerator for one hour.<\/p>\n Editor’s Tip<\/em>: If you’re in a rush, you can mix the ingredients and carry on to Step 2, however, it’s definitely worth taking the time to allow the flavors to merge if you can spare a little more time.<\/p>\n Take the tomato mixture out of the refrigerator and let it come to room temperature. Cut the bread into 24 slices. Arrange on a tray in a single layer and place under the broiler until lightly browned.<\/p>\n Top each piece of toast with the tomato mixture, and serve.<\/p>\n Editor’s Tip<\/em>: If you already have the grill started for a cookout, try grilling the bread slices until lightly toasted and brown. The extra caramelization makes a big impact on these little bites.<\/p>\n You can prepare the tomato topping a day in advance. Not only will it save you time, but it also allows the flavors to come together, making your bruschetta that much more flavorful. Technically, the tomatoes will keep for about four days, but they’ll lose their texture and become a bit mealy or mushy. Store the tomato mixture in an airtight container in the fridge until ready to use, then toast the bread and assemble the bruschetta close to when you’d like to serve them.<\/p>\n You can freeze the toasted bread slices for future use, but freezing changes the texture of tomatoes, so they wouldn’t be great as a bruschetta topping. But you could use frozen tomatoes for other things like sauces, stews and soups.<\/p>\n To freeze the toast, wrap the slices well and store in a freezer-safe bag or container for up to six months. You don’t need to thaw before reheating in an oven, toaster oven or grill. To freeze the tomato mixture for future use, store it in an airtight container for up to six months.<\/p>\n The best bruschetta bread is robust, should toast well and have little pockets in the crumb for catching the oil and tomato juices. French bread, ciabatta bread<\/a>\u00a0and sourdough bread<\/a> are popular options.<\/p>\n Whether you go for tomato or switch up the toppings, bruschetta is a versatile starter that complements a host of other dishes. Stick with an Italian theme or branch out. When entertaining a crowd, bruschetta is perfect with other quick appetizers<\/a> like stuffed mushrooms<\/a>, sweet and savory apricot wraps<\/a> or a full antipasto platter<\/a>.<\/p>\n

I find a tip to follow is to scoop out the insides of the tomatoes(save to add to spag sauce) and turn the tomatoes upside down on paper towel on a cooling rack.

Test Kitchen Tips<\/b>\r\nWhat kind of olive oil should you use to make bruschetta?<\/h3>Because there are so few ingredients in this recipe, each flavor really shines through, so you'll want to make sure you're using a high-quality olive oil. Extra-virgin olive oil<\/a> is a great choice for bruschetta not only because it will taste better but also because you don't have to cook or heat the oil. Check out our Test Kitchen's picks for the best olive oil brands<\/a> if you want some recommendations.
How can you make bruschetta your own?<\/h3>
Can you make bruschetta ahead of time?<\/h3>You can make the tomato mixture a few hours ahead of time if you really want the flavors to meld together before serving. Prep it any further in advance than that, though, and the tomatoes will get too juicy. Note: You'll need to scoop the mixture onto the toast slices with a slotted spoon regardless.
