Tomato Bruschetta

Amazing Flavors and So Simple

Garden Cherry Tomatoes

One of my favorite ways to enjoy fresh ripe tomatoes is as a topping on bruschetta (brus'ketta). This simple appetizer is a slice of good grilled bread rubbed with a clove of garlic then drizzled with extra virgin olive oil. At this point it can be topped with whatever you choose including marinated beans, vegetables, cured meats and cheese, but I like the classic diced tomatoes with fresh basil the best. The most important thing to remember about this dish is that all the ingredients should be the very best you can find.
