Genuine Bruschetta Recipe


Genuine Bruschetta Recipe
This is the real bruschetta... all additions to this are elaborations, but if you skip this step, it ain't bruschetta!

Ingredients
  • coarse Italian style country bread, thickish slices, day old
  • garlic clove peeled and cut in half
  • olive oil, the best you can find
  • optional salt

Directions
  1. Grill or broil day old bread slices-- you can use older, staler bread, but grill only one side then.
  2. When the bread is grilled to suit you, use the cut side of the garlic clove to gently rub one side of the slice-- be careful not to overdo it, as you can easily melt the whole clove into the bread!
  3. Drizzle great olive oil over the rubbed and grilled bread.
  4. Sprinkle with salt if you have used salt-free Tuscan or Umbrian bread.
  5. That's it, folks. What you put on top is your business, but if you haven't started with this, it isn't bruschetta-- or in Tuscany, it's called fettunta, which means "oiled slice"
  6. If you plan to use truffles on the bruschetta, skip the garlic and go straight to oil, because garlic cancels out the truffles.

Thanks for posting this. You're right, this is the real stuff and the correct first step before adding anything. I was in a otherwise very nice Italian restaurant and the waiter offered complimentary bruschetta. I think it was cheese toast. Love your authentic postings.


Somehow, I find nothing wrong with melting an entire clove of garlic into the bread!


Ermmm, some of us wish to retain the illusion that someone MIGHT kiss us.


Oh Finally some one after my heart...this is how I eat my morning toast....I am Full Hungarian and I eat and cook very european style.....Thank you so much for this.


Presumably, Hungarians don't mind kissing garlic lips?


Yes. This is it. Won't have it any other way. Can't eat it in restaurants any more (not that I go to many restaurants any more :) )
Thanks, Decobabe.


Wow, sounds easy and tasty
I like this one, thanks
