Cherry Tomato Bruschetta Appetizer
Classic cherry tomato bruschetta appetizer that takes you straight to Italy! Made with cherry tomatoes, garlic, olive oil, balsamic vinegar, and basil.
Servings: 4 people
Ingredients
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes;, quartered
- 2 cloves garlic;, minced
- ⅓ cup packed basil leaves;, chopped
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon balsamic vinegar
- ⅛ teaspoon black pepper
- ⅛ teaspoon salt;, adjust to your taste
- your choice of bread or crackers
Instructions
- Optional: Add quartered cherry tomatoes in a colander to drain out any excess water. I prefer doing this so the mixture doesn't get too watery.
- Add the drained tomatoes, garlic, basil leaves, olive oil, balsamic vinegar, black pepper, and salt to a medium bowl and mix well.
- You can prepare this ahead of time so the flavors soak up well or use it immediately! Top it over your favorite toasted bread, crackers, or make it into a bruschetta flatbread.
Notes
- I drain the excess tomato juice in a colander after chopping them so the mixture doesn't get too watery.
- Optional: you can add some fresh mozzarella cheese to your toasts.
- I love using mini bruschetta toasts for serving many of my appetizers, including this one.
- I like to make my mix in advance so the flavors soak up really well.
- When I'm not serving as an appetizer, I like to pile the mixture on a piece of toasted sourdough bread.
