Submitted by TheDrkHorseOne on August 20, 2007 - 10:50pm Extremely Easy Bruschetta ToppingThis side of the forum looked a little lonely, so I figured I'd give you folks something here that is extremely easy, tasty, and a personal favorite snack. No long list of ingredients here, just these: 2 medium tomatoes, seeded and diced 1/2 an equal sized white onion, diced small a clove of garlic, minced or pushed through a press kosher salt to taste fresh ground pepper to taste extra-virgin olive oil to taste A)Mix all ingredients together and stash in the 'fridge to cool. This is personal preference because I like the contrast of hot, toasted bread with the cool, light topping. Helps to meld the flavors as well. B)Get out your favorite baguette, slice on bias, and toast to your desired doneness under a broiler. Some folks at this point rub the hot toast with half a clove of garlic. I find it redundant as there's garlic in the topping, but feel free. Simplicity is better for a snack, in my opinion. Onsert cool 'slot A' onto a hot 'tab B' and prepare your tummy for some mouth-wateringly tasty treats. Easy, and genuinely delicious if you can find a fresh farmer's market for the ingredients. Winter ingredients will suffice as well. Feel free to ask questions or give comments.

Simple Bruschetta
TDHO,
I couldn't agree more, Bruschetta is one of my all time favorite ways to indulge myself and the family. This time of year tomatoes are plentiful and delicious along with onions and basil. I found that if you want to kick it up a notch, buy the best Balsamic Vinegar you can afford and add to taste in the oil dressing and a little fresh basil chopped up into the mix with feta cheese sprinkled on top! I could make a meal out of this.

Very nice recipe ty!
I also love to add capers sometimes and a zest of lemon now and again!

I have been so hungry for a tomato and mayo sandwich and not one of our tomato plants has anything even pink on it. My son and family just got back from E. Washington and bought me - red ripe tomatoes! So while my supper wasn't quite bruschetta it was sliced tomatoes on Jr. Wraith's baguette with mayo and s&p. Perfection! The soft crumb soaked up the lovely juices, and if you haven't tried this bread you should, A

My daughter recently introduced me to tomato and avocado sandwiches with salt, pepper, and mayo. I'd never been that interested in sandwiches without meat or fish, except for the ocassional grilled cheese, but these are delicious. I'll have to try the tomato and mayo.
Regarding bruschetta, I dice roma tomatoes, add extra virgin olive oil, salt and pepper, and lots of fresh basil. I toast the bread and rub a garlic clove across the surface before adding the topping. Plain, simple, and perfect.
