Broo-sketta
Tuesday, March 15, 2011 by Steph
I love that scene in the movie Julie and Julia where Julie decides to write her blog about food while she and her husband scarf down the most amazing looking Bruschetta. That scene makes me hungry. So I decided to make some.
Doesn't it look delish? My husband loved it so much he asked to have it for dinner the next night too. I don't think he noticed that it's not made of meat. :)
Here's how I whipped it up:
Cut up cherry tomatoes
Chopped fresh basil
Diced fresh mozzarella (I'm talking the real deal from the deli section, not the dairy section)
Drizzle of olive oil
Pinch of course sea salt
Fresh ground pepper
Mix all of this in a bowl...whatever proportions you like. (Sorry if you like exact measurements, I'm more of a cook on the fly kind of girl)
Slice up a loaf of good bread - I like Artisan combo bread from the bakery at Safeway. Something with good body and chewy crust like ciabatta, etc.
Heat up olive oil in a pan on medium high. Cook the bread on both sides until golden brown.
Peel a clove of garlic and slice it in half. Rub over the bread. Careful, it's hot. Top with your tomato mixture.
Whoalah! Dig in, it's amazing. Try it tonight. And then again tomorrow night.
I can't wait to make this with my own garden tomatoes and basil.
