Basic Garlic Bruschetta

September 18, 2014 by Valerie Lugonja 2 Comments

Garlic bruschetta is the foundation for a myriad of delectable toppings, or delicious on its own!

In Italy with Vanja in 2011, the Umbria and Tuscan regions had this bruschetta on their menus as an option. I ordered it every time. Could not get enough. Delicious extra virgin olive oil saturated crusty Italian bread toasted crisp on both sides, then slathered with fresh garlic. Heaven.

I was stunned that such simplicity could create such a powerful taste memory. I was addicted. Though I understand the importance of terroir, this aromatic crunchy side is delicious made at home, as well. As there are only three ingredients, each must be stellar. Excellent crusty Italian white bread sliced on the diagonal.

Then rubbed with fresh, fragrant, aromatic garlic until it melts into the face of the bruschetta.
