Answer 2

Your don't have to be rich or go to a fancy restaurant to enjoy bruschetta. This Italian "toast" is not only an appetizer; it is often made by many Italian mamas for breakfast, brunch or lunch. Delicious!

BRUSCHETTA POMODORO

2 c. minced plum tomatoes
2 tbsp. chopped kalamata olives
1 tbsp. chopped red onion
1 tbsp. chopped fresh basil
1 tbsp. extra-virgin olive oil
1/4 tsp. salt
1/4 tsp. balsamic vinegar
1/8 tsp. pepper
10 (1/2-inch-thick) slices diagonally cut French bread baguette, toasted

Combine all the ingredients except French bread; cover and let stand 30 minutes. Drain the tomato mixture. Top each bread slice with 1 tablespoon of tomato mixture. Makes 10 bruschetta.

CLASSIC BRUSCHETTA

Toast the bread under the broiler if you don't have a grill pan. Use a light hand to rub the garlic over the toast slices, or the pungency of the garlic will overwhelm the fruity olive oil.

6 oz. Italian bread diagonally cut into 6 slices
3 garlic cloves, halved
1 tbsp. extra virgin olive oil
1/2 tsp. dried oregano
1/4 tsp. salt

Heat a grill pan over medium-high heat. Place the bread slices in pan; cook for 2 minutes on each side or until lightly browned. Rub 1 side of each toast slice with the cut sides of garlic cloves.Discard garlic. Drizzle bread with olive oil, and sprinkle with dried oregano and salt. Makes 6 bruschetta.

MUSHROOM AND PARMESAN BRUSCHETTA

1/2 c. chopped plum tomato
2 tbsp. red wine vinegar
1/2 tsp. sugar
1/4 tsp. crushed red pepper
1/8 tsp. salt
10 thinly sliced basil leaves
2 tsp. butter
1/3 c. sliced mushrooms
1/4 c. chopped green onions
1 garlic clove, minced
8 (1/2-inch-thick) slices diagonally cut French bread, toasted
1/4 c. (1 oz.) Parmesan Grated Cheese

Combine first 7 ingredients in a medium bowl; set aside. Melt butter in a medium nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add mushrooms, onions, and garlic; cook 5 minutes or until tender, stirring frequently. Add mushroom mixture to tomato mixture; toss well to combine. Spoon about 1 tablespoon mushroom mixture onto each bread slice. Sprinkle evenly with cheese. Serve immediately. Makes bruschetta.

Answer 3

Bruschetta is actually the grilled bread rubbed with garlic and topped with extra-virgin olive oil, salt and pepper.

The toppings can vary i.e.tomato, vegetables, beans, cured meat, and/or cheese; the most popular American recipe involves basil, fresh mozzarella, and tomato.

Answer 4

TUSCAN CHEESE SPREAD

Rich blend of cream cheese, garlic, herbs and spices topped off with toasty Parmesan, chopped tomatoes, a balsamic glaze and ciabatta bread for dipping.

Answer 5

It;s called bruchetta. You rub the bread with garlic after it is toasted.Pile chopped tomatoes mixed with onions and some kind of vinaigrette. That's one version, there are lots of others.

Answer 6

Sounds like focaccia bread. It's flatter than normal breads, has dimples in it, you put the tomatoes (or garlic and herbs with oil) on it and spread it around. Served in slices - hot.

If it's focaccia bread, it's baked in a jellyroll pan so it's flat like that - dimpled and spread with oil, herbs, garlic, and sometimes parmesan cheese.

It that's not it, I have no idea.
