Bruschetta with Tomato and Basil: The Best Recipe!

Did you know, bruschetta is actually pronounced with a k sound? Italians pronounce it "brusketta" so if you want to sound authentic, give that pronunciation a try!

Secrets for making the perfect bruschetta

• Fresh, quality ingredients make a difference, so use the best of what you have
• The smaller the tomato the sweeter they are, so stick with Roma or even grape or cherry tomatoes
• Add fresh mozzarella for an even more authentic taste
• remove the tomato seeds if you want to keep your bruschetta from getting too runny

When we were traveling in Italy, we simply could not get enough Bruschetta. 

The secret to this bruschetta is the balsamic vinegar. My favorite comes from Metropolitan Market, but if you don't have a local store, this one from Amazon is good too. 

Some people want to save their fingers, or they find that their knife skills aren't very good. This vegetable chopper will help make the job easier.
