When you can’t resist your own cooking (peep the bottom right) 🙃 I’m already bracing myself for the comments “you should try adding….” BUT YOU GUYS. I can promise you that is the absolute best Bruschetta you will ever have. It doesn’t need cheese or vinegar or anything extra.
The key is using really high quality tomatoes and olive oil. I recommend getting your tomatoes at the farmers market and as for the olive oil do some research online and don’t be afraid to spend a little extra $$. It makes all the difference! I usually get mine at Eataly. I’ve tried a few different brands and I haven’t tried one I didn’t love yet!
