Easy and Delicious Bruschetta Recipe
During quarantine, I have been loving this super easy and delicious bruschetta appetizer. I have tried two different ways of enjoying this snack and you can’t go wrong with either one.
Option 1) Serving on a chopped baguette. If you are hosting an event or party, I’d recommend this style because it is a way easier option for sharing.
Option 2) Serving on flatbread. Sobey’s sells flatbreads that come in a package of two, and if I’m only sharing with one other person, this is the way I usually cook it.
INGREDIENTS YOU WILL NEED:
Baguette or Flatbread
3 Roma tomatoes
Balsamic Vinegar
Balsamic Glaze (I posted a photo of the one I use)
Olive oil
Salt and pepper
Fresh basil
Thyme
Feta (optional)
PREPARING THE BREAD:
Set oven to 400
If you are using a baguette: Cut baguette into even pieces and spread olive oil on both sides of each baguette. Toast each side of the baguette for 5 minutes each (when the bread is in the oven you can start making your bruschetta mix). Once done cooking baguette for 10 minutes total, sprinkle thyme onto each baguette.
If you are using flatbread: Spread olive oil on both sides of flatbread, and then toast each side in the oven for 5 minutes each (when the bread is in the oven you can start making your bruschetta mix). After the 10 minutes are done, sprinkle thyme onto the flatbread. If you like your bread more crispy, keep flatbread in the oven for longer, but make sure you keep an eye on it so it doesn’t burn.
MAKING THE BRUSCHETTA MIX:
My favourite Balsamic Glaze!
Chop Roma Tomatoes into one cup and add into mixing bowl
Add 1 tablespoon of Balsamic Vinegar
Add 2 tablespoons of Olive Oil
Add 3-4 tablespoons of Fresh Basil
Add salt and pepper
Refrigerate for 10 minutes
Then once your bread is toasted, and your bruschetta mix is created and cooled, you can add the mix to each baguette or add onto your flatbread. After I add my mix, I always top my bread off with the balsamic glaze, and sometimes crumbled feta.
I hope you enjoy this recipe as much as I do, and as always don’t forget to tag me in your posts after making it: @bycourtneytodd.
