Italian Bruschetta Recipe With Balsamic Glaze And Parmesan
Ingredients
For The Tomato Bruschetta:
- 4 Roma tomatoes diced
- 1/4 cup fresh basil leaves chiffonade
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- 1 tbsp balsamic vinegar
- 2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
- 1/2 tsp sea salt
- 1/4 tsp black pepper
- Optional: 1 tbsp balsamic glaze for drizzling
For The Toasts:
- 1 baguette sliced into 1/2-inch pieces
- 2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
- 1/4 cup shredded Parmesan cheese
Instructions
Step 1: Prep The Tomato Topping
- Dice the Roma tomatoes into small, even pieces. This helps the topping sit perfectly on the baguette slices.
- In a bowl, combine the diced tomatoes, basil chiffonade, minced garlic, balsamic vinegar, olive oil, salt, and pepper.
- Toss everything together gently to infuse the flavors. Let the mixture rest for 10 minutes while you prepare the toasts.
Step 2: Prepare The Baguette Toasts
- Preheat your oven’s broiler to high.
- Arrange the baguette slices on a baking sheet. Brush each slice lightly with olive oil and sprinkle with shredded Parmesan cheese.
- Broil for 2–3 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the cheese is melted. Keep a close eye to avoid burning!
Step 3: Assemble The Bruschetta
- Once the toasts are ready, spoon the tomato mixture generously onto each slice.
- For extra flair, drizzle with balsamic glaze just before serving.
