We all have those weeks. Ya know, the crazy ones. We won’t go into detail but the bottom line is, even when weeks are crazy and life is out of control, girl’s still gotta eat! And just because it’s busy, doesn’t mean what you’re eating can’t still be deliciously gourmet tasting.
Now that springtime has finally decided to show up, I am really excited to use fresh produce and there’s nothing better than fresh tomatoes in my book. I’ve had quite a few variations of bruschetta, including a goat cheese and red pepper bruschetta last weekend! But when I want that authentic Italian taste and summer feeling, I go for a very traditional bruschetta recipe.
Bruschetta ingredients are so simple and a lot of the time I have them all already. Sometimes I opt for fresh basil but this time I just used dried basil because I really wanted to hone in on the delicious tomato taste. Therefore I kept the distractions to a minimum.
You can choose to use both olive oil and balsamic vinegar in your mixture if you like but if you don’t care for balsamic, the olive oil by itself is enough. A little salt and pepper and a sprinkle of any Italian cheese and you’re all set!
What bruschetta variations have you tried before? Are you as excited for tomato season as I am?
