Have you ever tasted a “Bruschetta”?

Yesterday evening, I had this delicious appetizer in one of my preferred bar in my city Parma and could not miss to take a photo and post on Google maps.

Today “The Bruschetta” is a very simple but very trendy appetizer, that suits everyone and is a perfect for the coming summer season.

It is prepared in different bars or restaurants of south of Italy but takes origin from the vital need of peasants to preserve their bread in times of crisis.

Few mandatory ingredients should you like to prepare by yourself a good Bruschetta:

  • Bread for a good Bruschetta must be cut in thick slices, and grilled at the perfect temperature; the homemade one is the best because it remains crunchy while absorbing the seasonings well.
  • Seasoning: rub the warm bread with a clove of garlic and season it with oil and salt it becomes a wonderful meal.
  • Then finally you can add other ingredients, but my preferred Bruschetta is the simplest : slice of fresh tomato with a few basil leaves, a little extra virgin olive oil and a pinch of salt

Buon Appetito!!!

You are right @TorM , the problem is that when you start with one slice you may have some difficulty to finish to enjoy this delicious bread :joy:

Nice @Giuseppe75 , I love bruschette as well and I agree with you that the best one is just the standard one, tomatoes, extra vergine olive oil and basil!
