Jamie Oliver Bruschetta Recipe

Bruschetta is a simple and delicious Italian appetizer. Toasted bread, fresh tomatoes, and basil make the perfect bite! This recipe is quick to make and full of fresh flavors.

Ingredients Needed:

• 1 small loaf of sourdough bread
• 1 clove of garlic
• 2 handfuls of nice mixed-colour ripe tomatoes
• ½ a bunch of fresh basil (15g)
• quality herb or white wine vinegar

How To Make Bruschetta Recipe?

1. Toast the bread: Cut into 1cm slices and grill on a hot pan or barbecue until golden.
2. Add flavor: Rub each slice with garlic, drizzle with olive oil, and sprinkle with salt & pepper.
3. Prepare tomatoes: Remove the seeds & cores, chop them, and put them in a bowl.
4. Mix with basil: Tear basil leaves, season with salt & pepper, and mix with olive oil & vinegar.
5. Assemble & serve: Spoon the tomato mix onto the bread. Serve fresh and enjoy!

Recipe Tips:

• Use the Best Bread: Pick a crusty sourdough or ciabatta for the best texture. Soft bread will get soggy and won’t hold the toppings well.
• Toast the Bread Properly: Grill or toast the bread until it’s golden and crispy. This helps it hold the toppings without getting soft too quickly.
• Remove Tomato Seeds: Scoop out the seeds before chopping the tomatoes. This prevents the bruschetta from becoming watery and keeps the flavors fresh.
• Use Fresh Basil the Right Way: Tear, don’t chop the basil leaves. Chopping can bruise them and make them lose their fresh taste.
• Balance the Flavors: Add a little vinegar and olive oil to the tomatoes. The vinegar gives a slight tang, while the olive oil makes everything rich and delicious.

How To Store & Reheat Leftovers?

• Refrigerate: Let the tomato mix cool, then store it in a sealed container in the fridge for up to 2 days. Keep the toasted bread outside the fridge so it stays crispy.
• Reheat: Heat a dry pan on medium heat and toast the bread slices for 2-3 minutes per side until crispy.
