Easy Bruschetta Recipe

Italy-Inspired Bruschetti Bruschetta



So, I just got back from my amazing bacholerette trip to Italy. Needless to say, I had tons of Italian food, all sorts. And I was very surprised to find great vegetarian options, especially after being warned by travel magazines that constantly bash on Italian food in Italy.

I still had half a pack of bruschetti ( dry bruschetta in a pack that one can eat like chips) with me from the trip, and I was obviously already missing authentic Italian food. So I decided to take this opportunity to top it with tomato and pesto, just like they serve in Italy! You can also make it with fresh baguette. This 5- step recipe is perfect as a midnight or after-office snack. 

Here's the bruschetti I used. You can use fresh bread instead.

You'll need
1 tomato, chopped
Dry pesto paste or fresh pesto
Extra virgin olive oil
Sea salt
Bruschetti

1. Lay out the bruschetti on a plate. 
2. Top each of them with chopped tomatoes, making sure they're even and not instantly falling off. 
3. Add 1 spoon olive oil to 1 spoon pesto paste and mix well. Add a pinch of sea salt. 
4. Add a bit to each bruschetti. 
5. Eat.
