Steph’s Bruschetta

Posted on by

Every now and then I make some darn good food just from being experimental. Some of you may remember my salsa. Well, Steph’s Bruschetta is here! It’s great in the hot weather too since there’s no blaring heat involved!
Ingredients:

  • Slice of FRESH bread – my favorites are a Rosemary Sourdough or a Roasted Garlic Loaf from Whole Foods.
  • Garllic Butter – my fave is Nonna Lena’s Garlic Butter
  • 2 Thin Slices of a Fresh Vine Tomato
  • Freshly Grated Cheeses – I use a mix of parmesan, romano, and asiago
  • Fresh Basil – I get it from my herb garden outside and it’s SO GOOD! Seriously, if you use dried herbs you need to stop now because it just murders the flavor of your foods!
  • Sea Salt

Directions:
1. Toast your bread to a light-golden crisp in your toaster, then stick the delicious slice on a plate.
2. Immediately spead on the garlic butter.
3. Add the cheese mixes to taste.
4. Put on the two thinly sliced tomatoes (YUM!)
5. Sprinkle on sea salt to taste.
6. Add fresh basil to taste.
7. Eat and enjoy!
I’m considering that this could be made into some kind of sandwich…hmmm…we’ll see if I get so moved. But, for now I just love how light and flavorful it is!
Hmmm…I’ve made something similar to this before.

  1. That sounds really good. I bet it would make a fun veggie sandwich – add some sliced mushrooms, peppers and sprouts – yup, that sounds pretty good to me.

  2. Heh, I doubt you’d hear argument about the mushrooms from Steph, that’s for sure.
    Sounds good Steph… you often throw things together and somehow make some good stuff (whereas I usually like working from recipes I know well and maybe improvising from there): you should keep better track.
    What’s with you and the sea salt? I’m not sure I’ve ever seen it before in the grocery store, but I’m pretty sure I’ve seen it at your place, since the salt you use for popcorn always has big granules. At any rate, do you just like how it seasons better, or what?

  3. Funny timing to this story. You posted it a day before I watched the Toast episode of Good Eats on the Food Network. My boy Alton Brown (the bill nye of food) cooked up a little bruschetta too.
