Bruschetta with cherry tomato, garlic, generous olive oil over baguette Italian or French bread slice, baked to perfection. Step by step photos.
I have tasted bruschetta only once and it tasted more like bread toasted with tomato salsa. But never thought of trying at home. I wanted to try something with the cute little cherry tomatoes I got.
Besides, I saw this Bruschetta recipe with garlic in food network, so partially adapted it and came up with this recipe. It was really tasting great, my whole family enjoyed this.
It smelt and tasted great with juicy succulent cherry tomatoes and the bread drenched in olive oil. This will make an amazing starter also, you can make it in a jiffy and can give you a lot of volume to serve a big crowd!
This also makes a perfect party pleaser or picnic food, if you toast the slices separately and mix the toppings. You can just put it together at the time of serving.
There are many versions and variations of bruschetta recipe, this particular recipe is without cheese and basil.
Bruschetta with Cherry tomatoes
Ingredients
- 1 Baguette bread / French loaf
- 30 Cherry tomatoes
- 1 Onion
- 1 tablespoon Garlic minced
- 2 tablespoon Coriander leaves Fresh chopped
- 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
- Salt – As needed
- Olive oil extra virgin – As needed
- 1 teaspoon Black pepper powder
Instructions
- Pre heat oven to 180 deg. C.
- Halve the cherry tomatoes lengthwise, finely chop onion, coriander leaves and very finely the garlic.
- Mix all the ingredients chopped with pepper, oregano and1 & ½ tablespoon of olive oil and mix well.
- With a sharp knife/ bread knife, slice the baguette bread as shown in the picture. It should be thick (½ inch) and you can either cut it to simple circles or fancy ovals by cutting bit diagonally.
- Arrange the cut slices in a greased baking tray and spoon the tomato mix over like around 3 tablespoon over each.
- Again drizzle generously over each with olive oil and bake for upto 5 – 8 minutes, or until the tomatoes shrink and nice aroma wafts.
Notes
- You can use ordinary tomatoes in place of cherry tomatoes. 2 blanched tomatoes would be perfect for the recipe.
- Sprinkle some grated cheese over this before baking, use mozzarella cheese for better results.
- Instead of black pepper powder, try using chilli flakes.
