Directions
â researched- 1
Slice 1 baguette or ciabatta and toast on both sides until golden brown. Rub the warm slices with a halved garlic clove.
â±ïž approx. 8 minđĄ Tip: Bruschetta al pomodoro is an Italian classic, also very popular in Portugal. Rubbing garlic on the hot bread is the characteristic technique â the rough surface grates off a little garlic without being overpowering.

Core 300 g fully ripe tomatoes and cut into small dice. Toss with fresh basil, olive oil, salt and pepper. Allow to marinate for 5â10 minutes.
â±ïž approx. 12 minđĄ Tip: Removing the seeds prevents the bread from going soggy. Fully ripe, flavourful tomatoes are the key. The brief marinating time allows the flavours to meld.

Spoon the tomato mixture onto the toasted bread slices only just before serving. Drizzle with a splash of olive oil. Serve immediately.
â±ïž approx. 4 minđĄ Tip: Only add the topping to the bread at the moment of serving â otherwise it will go soggy. Enjoy straight away while the bread is still crispy.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do you pronounce bruschetta correctly?
'Broo-SKETT-a' â the ch is pronounced like k (Italian pronunciation). Not 'broo-SHETT-a'. The name comes from 'bruscare' (to toast over embers).
Why remove the seeds from the tomatoes?
The seed cavity of a tomato is very watery â without removing them, the bread becomes soggy immediately. Taking out the seeds gives firmer tomato dice that stay on the bread longer without soaking it straight away.
Can you use other toppings?
Yes, bruschetta variations include: white bean spread, mushrooms, goat's cheese and figs, avocado, prosciutto with buffalo mozzarella. The basic trick (toasted bread + garlic rub + good olive oil) always remains the same.
