Bruschetta: From the traditional recipe to the gourmet variants

Is there a traditional bruschetta recipe? Yes: it is the bruschetta with tomato and basil, a great classic of Italian cuisine that even today, in the face of succulent reworkings, keeps its charm intact, remaining one of the types preferred by Italians.

Recipes for bruschetta: some ideas to put into practice right away

Among the hundreds of bruschetta recipes, quick and easy ideas that each of us can prepare at home in a few steps are:

• Bruschetta with ham and figs, where the sweetness of the figs and the salty touch of the sausage complement each other
• Bruschetta with honey and goat cheese, for a creamy contrast between the sweet taste of honey and the strong taste of the cheese
• Bruschetta with avocado and salmon, which in addition to being very appetizing from a nutritional point of view, is also perfectly balanced according to the criteria of the Mediterranean diet
• Bruschetta with pesto, for essential freshness during the long summer days
• Bruschetta with onion, walnuts and balsamic vinegar from Modena.

Let's remember that, in order to make excellent bruschetta, it is essential that the slice of bread is well toasted (not burnt!). Another tip is to lightly rub the slice of bread with a clove of garlic, which will further enhance the chosen ingredients.
