10 minutes
Bruschetta is a classic Italian dish with roots in Tuscan villages where peasants toasted bread over fire, rubbed it with garlic, and drizzled it with olive oil. Today, bruschetta has become a versatile appetizer that can be adapted to any taste. Crispy white bread lightly infused with garlic aroma and rich olive oil serves as the perfect base for various toppings. The combination of tuna with mayonnaise and mustard adds zest; roasted peppers delight with sweetness and smoky notes; the classic tomatoes with mozzarella charm with freshness; while the aroma of basil and pesto turns the appetizer into a gastronomic delight. Bruschetta is not just food; it's a journey through Italy's flavor dimensions that can enhance any table and complement a meal with lightness and sophistication.
