Ingredient Notes
Tomatoes – You can really use any type of tomato. I like nice plum tomatoes on the vine, romas also work great. Onion – onion is not traditionally included in bruschetta, but I love it as an optional addition! White, yellow, or red onion is fine, you’ll just want to mince it very fine so it doesn’t overpower the dish. Basil – fresh basil is best here. Olive Oil and Balsamic – you’ll want to use good extra virgin olive oil and a quality balsamic.

It makes a great appetizer or side dish, especially during the summer months when fresh tomatoes and garden basil are plentiful! Can you make Bruschetta ahead of time? You can definitely make it several hours ahead of time, it’s actually better if it can sit for a bit before enjoying. How do I store Bruschetta? Just keep it in an airtight container in a fridge. Can I freeze Bruschetta? Bruschetta is best enjoyed fresh.
