Tomato and garlic Bruschetta Recipe with basil leaves – Western delicacies have always been my favourite since childhood. I remember my vacations at Singapore when mornings meant garlic bread, mushroom sauce and hot soup. The aroma of freshly baked garlic bread was simply irresistible and I still recall the tempting bright yellow surface of it.
From the very beginning, i loved bread recipes, so you can find many bread recipes in my recipes. I love veg suji buns, bread pouch, masala pav, bread toast or Italian veg katori, Homemade Cheese Garlic Bread Recipe, which are very good delicacies for breakfast.
Today, I have made up my mind to re-create my childhood memories by preparing this treat all by myself. So here I am, penning it down for you to follow. You must be thinking what makes this Bruschetta special. I would say it is a fusion of my own culinary ideas and definitely the authentic way of presenting it.
If you have no idea about Bruschetta then let me introduce it to you. This Italian dish is a wonderful blend of roasted bread with a tasty yet healthy topping. Cheese being the classic ingredient here, you and your kids will definitely love munching on these Antipastos.
Preparing the topping is a lot easier than what you think, and serving it as an entree is going to work wonders in parties. It is so much easier to prepare that even an amateur cook can learn it in a moment! Isn’t it amazing? You just have to mix the black olives, green olives, cherry tomatoes and mozzarella cheese all together to create a heavenly topping.
I first prepared this comfort food on my daughter’s birthday party. I still recall the appreciations that I got and finally thought of jotting it down for you all to try. To reveal a little secret of mine, try pairing Bruschetta with a hearty soup, as I did at that dinner party. You will surely receive compliments from your near and dear ones!
I believe the key ingredient of this savoury appetiser is finely diced tomatoes, mixed with fresh basil leaves, crushed black pepper corns and finally tangy green and black olives. The best thing about this recipe is that it takes a mere 10 minutes to prepare and 15 minutes to cook. So if you are pressed for time, hurrying before presenting an entree at a get-together, then Cheesy Garlic Bread or Bruschetta can be your pick for the menu.
If you are convinced with the recipe then you can share it with your friends. I am sure they will love the sheer idea of chopped tomatoes and cheese pile on a crunchy garlic base. So, take some time out from your busy schedule and try this western entree for a change.
