This just speaks summer to me- fresh tomato bruschetta that is easy and quick to make!
Fresh Tomato basil bruschetta
The flavors of red ripe tomatoes mixed with fresh basil and mozzarella cheese on a French baguette is just so fresh and delicious!
Homegrown Tomatoes
I love growing my own tomatoes. Last season I grew early girl tomatoes as well as lots of little yellow pear and grape tomatoes. They are so sweet and delicious! Right now it is winter where I live so no fresh tomatoes from the garden. At the grocery store I grab the vine ripe tomatoes. The have a much better fresh flavor.
Fresh Basil
You can get fresh basil at most grocery stores if you don’t grow any yourself. I like to buy it as plant and keep it growing on my kitchen window sill. Basil likes the sunshine so that is perfect place for it. Then I just snip off whatever I need to make bruschetta, pesto or just to season any of my favorite dishes. One of which is my tomato Ricotta basil tart here oh it is so good!
You can also make these with just the cheese for the kids if they don’t particularly like tomatoes. Serving the bruschetta on a long wooden board makes for a beautiful presentation. Another yummy and easy tomato bruschetta recipe you might like is here.
