Make traditional bruschetta yourself – that’s how it works

To prepare bruschettas yourself, all you need is white bread, olive oil, garlic, tomatoes, salt, and pepper. That’s how it works:

First, grate the garlic.
Now peel the tomatoes, deseed them, and then cut them into small cubes. A little tip: If you scratch the tomatoes slightly beforehand and briefly dip them in boiling water, you can remove the skin more easily.
Now mix the diced tomatoes with a little olive oil and the grated garlic.
Now season the mixture with a little salt and pepper.
To get a particularly aromatic taste, drizzle the white bread with a little olive oil and rub the slices with half a clove of garlic.
Now you should lightly toast the white bread in the oven at around 200°C. This takes between 3-7 minutes.
After toasting, you can spread the mixture on the bread.
Then sprinkle some chopped basil on top. You can also use arugula instead of basil.

Of course, you can also experiment and invent your own bruschetta variations. We have already compiled a few for you here:

For example, you could slice green asparagus and sauté them in a pan with onions. You can then mix these two ingredients with the tomato mixture and get a whole new taste experience.
The popular combination of tomato and mozzarella can also be used in bruschetta. Cut the mozzarella as small as possible and then mix it with the tomato mixture.
If you use rocket, a combination with feta cheese goes very well. To do this, crush the feta cheese a little and then add it to the mixture. But be careful not to process the cheese into mush.
The combination with mushrooms is also very popular. You should preferably use mushrooms for this. Cut the mushrooms into small cubes and then put them in a pan with a small onion. When the mushrooms are well fried, mix them in with the tomatoes and enjoy their wonderful aroma on the bread.
