Tomato season means…time to make tomato bruschetta! ♡ I’ve long been a big fan of this classic Italian appetizer. But a few years ago during [our trip to Rome]( my husband and I had the opportunity to take a cooking class on the art of making traditional tomato basil bruschetta and learned a few tips and techniques we found helpful. So I figured that tomato season would be a good time to pop in here and share a bit of what we learned! First, a quick note about pronunciation.

(By the way, the plural of bruschetta is bruschette — broo-skeh-teh.) Its name is derived from the Roman verb meaning “to toast” or “to roast over coals,” which makes sense because bruschetta is commonly regarded as one of the best uses for leftover bread. Tomato bruschetta been a popular dish in Italy since the 16th century, back when tomatoes first arrived on the scene in Europe. And as with most classic Italian dishes, the components of tomato bruschetta are intentionally kept simple so that the vibrant, fresh flavor of each ingredient can each really shine through. All you need are ripe tomatoes, good-quality olive oil, fresh basil, garlic, oregano, sea salt and crusty bread to make an excellent batch of bruschette al pomodoro. It’s a quick and easy appetizer to assemble. And, if you’d like, you can even prep the [crostini]( and tomato basil topping hours in advance and assemble just before serving, making bruschetta a terrific option for easy entertaining. The most important thing that our instructor stressed again and again is that amazing tomatoes make for amazing bruschetta.
