Bruschetta with tomatoes

30 minutes

Bruschetta with tomatoes is a classic dish of Italian cuisine, originating from sunny regions where fresh vegetables and aromatic herbs are the foundation of gastronomy. This appetizer dates back to the ancient tradition of Italian peasants who toasted bread over an open fire and rubbed it with garlic, adding seasonal ingredients. The juicy and sweet taste of tomatoes harmonizes with the rich aroma of basil and the mild spiciness of garlic. Toasted whole grain bread adds a crunchy texture to the dish, while olive oil softens the flavor palette. Bruschetta is perfect as an aperitif or light snack accompanying wine or chilled drinks. It’s a simple and elegant way to enjoy fresh summer flavors and feel the Mediterranean breeze.
