The Classic Bruschetta was delicious! ๐
Tomatoes are in abundance right now, and a couple of our vendors also have fresh basil available. Fresh sourdough bread is available at the farmers market too! ๐
Shout out to Jodi Nordlund for facilitating the food demo.
Huge thanks to Warren at Trout Lake Garlic for donating the garlic for our recipe kits.

๐๐ก๐๐ฅ๐๐๐๐๐ก๐ง๐ฆ:
โข 4โ5 ripe tomatoes, diced
โข 2 cloves garlic, minced
โข ยผ cup fresh basil, chopped
โข 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
โข 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar, optional
โข ยฝ teaspoon salt, or to taste
โข ยผ teaspoon black pepper
โข 1 loaf sourdough or French bread
โข Olive oil for brushing the bread
โข 1 garlic clove, cut in half
๐๐๐ฅ๐๐๐ง๐๐ข๐ก๐ฆ:
1. Combine the diced tomatoes, minced garlic, basil, olive oil, balsamic vinegar, salt, and pepper. Let sit for 15โ20 minutes so all those fresh flavors come together.
2. Slice the bread about ยฝ-inch thick and lightly brush both sides with olive oil.
3. Toast at 400ยฐF for 5โ8 minutes, flipping once, until lightly golden and crisp.
4. While the bread is still warm, gently rub each slice with the cut side of a fresh garlic clove.
5. Spoon the fresh tomato and basil mixture over the toasted bread right before serving.
๐ง๐๐ฃ: If your tomatoes are extra juicy, drain off some of the liquid before adding them to the bread. It will help keep your bruschetta nice and crisp.
