Tuscan Bruschetta
May 14, 2008 – 8:57 am
This is a fresh, colorful and very flavorful bruschetta. Excellent starter, and always a hit at buffet parties! We use a little Gorgonzola cheese to add zing, Pecorino Romano also works well. Enjoy with a good Pinot Grigio
Ingredients:
1 loaf Italian bread (or any crusty bread)
1/4 cup balsamic vinegar
3 medium sized red ripe tomatoes, diced
3 medium sized yellow ripe tomatoes, diced
1/4 cup Gorgonzola cheese, crumbled
1 garlic clove, minced
1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil
3 springs fresh basil, ripped
extra olive oil to drizzle
In a bowl, Mix the tomatoes with rest of the ingredients, let rest for 5 to 10 minutes.
Meanwhile slice the loaf into 1 inch slices, drizzle some olive oil and toast in the oven.
Spoon the tomato mixture on top of each slice, return to the oven just to heat the toppings and serve immediately.
