Bruschetta with Tomato and Onion Recipe

Easy Bruschetta recipe – Bruschetta (pronounced: brusketta, hindi: ब्रुस्केटा) is a traditional Italian appetizer consist of grilled/toast bread rubbed with olive oil and topped with garlic, tomato, basils and onions. Bruschetta is a great snacks dish perfect for evening snack or starter. Kids love this dish.

This Bruschetta recipe has an Indian twist. I have added chopped green chilies which give nice flavour to this dish. These chilies are mild so they don’t add heat to the dish but just the taste. In traditional bruschetta, fresh Basil leaves are added to give nice aroma. If you don’t have green basil leaves, you can add some oregano mixture or dried basil. In this bruschetta recipe I have added dried basil.

This is an easy Bruschetta recipe which hardly take time for preparation. It goes really well with Italian food like Pasta, spaghetti etc. If you are planning an Italian feast at your home, Bruschetta is an ideal starter dish for that.

Traditionally Bruschetta is prepared with slices of italian / french bread. In India it is difficult to find such bread hence you can use normal slices of wheat bread instead.

Let’s check the quick Bruschetta recipe with tomato, garlic and onion.

Bruschetta Recipe:

1. Cut the bread into slices. The bread slice should not be too thin or too thick. Here I have used french baguette bread. You can use normal wheat bread slices instead. Just cut the wheat bread slices into semi circles to give bruschetta its traditional shape.

2. In a pan, heat olive oil and add minced garlic, green chilies, onion and saute for a minute. Add chopped tomatoes, dried basil leaves (or fresh basil if you have). Let the tomato cook for few seconds. The tomato topping is ready.

3. Apply olive oil on bread slices and add the tomato topping. Cook the bread in preheated oven at 210 degree centigrade for around 15 minutes.
