The Italian appetizer that is a flawless combination of tomato, garlic, basil and olive oil is none other than the bruschetta. We compiled the best bruschetta recipes that are classic or completely outside the box.
Did you know that bruschetta actually refers to the crusty, toasty bread. The origin comes from the Italian word “bruscare” which means “to burn, heat in a fire” which is essentially how the bread should be prepared. A classic bruschetta is made by toasting slices of Italian bread with a fresh topping on top. The bruschetta we’re accustomed to is made with fresh tomatoes and basil, but the combinations are endless.
