Bruschetta, yummy!


So for this recipe I wanted to put some thought in to it and the first thing that came to mind was Bruschetta. So today's recipe is going to be Bruschetta yay!
So to start off you are going to need:
  • a chef's knife
  • a serrated knife
  • a spoon
  • a couple of mixing bowls
  • a cutting board
  • a cheese grater
All of these kitchen tools will help you prepare all the ingredents to make the bruschetta. Also there just really handy to have around at all times. I know I use a cheese grater all the time as well as a cutting board and chef's knife. Of course we can't forget about the spoon, I use it the most out of the list of equipment.
Next is the ingredient list:
  • 1 large or 2 medium tomatoes
  • 1 garlic clove, minced
  • 1/4 onion, chopped finely
  • 15mL of chopped fresh basil(2-3 leaves)
  • 1mL dried oregano
  • 25mL olive oil
  • 1mL salt
  • 1/2mL pepper
  • 50mL grated cheese
  • 1/3mL baguette, cut into slices
Now if there are any ingredients that you don't like or that you want to add extra to this recipe. Add them. Make the final product that you enjoy and also remember experimenting in the kitchen can be fun and exciting.
The instructions on how to make them go:
  1. Cut tomatoes in half; gently squeeze out seeds and juice. Chop finely: no big chunks.(You should have about 250mL.)
  2. Chop garlic, onion and basil. Grate cheese and set aside.
  3. In a medium bowl, combine chopped tomatoes, garlic, onion, basil, oregano and only 10mL of olive oil. Sprinkle in salt and pepper.
  4. Slice baguette and arrange on a baking sheet. Toast bread under the oven broiler until golden on both sides. Quickly brush one side of the bread with olive oil.
  5. Spoon tomato mixture on top. Sprinkle a small amount of grated cheese on each slice and place under broiler for about 25 seconds longer until cheese is melted.
  6. Enjoy!
So this recipe that I am providing makes 1/3 of a baguette worth of bruschetta. If you want more then just the 1/3 just remember to to add more of the other ingredients as well so you have enough for all the pieces of bread. Other then that enjoy your bruschetta and stay tuned for more Cooking Tips and Recipes!
