Pro Tips for Success:

  • Use ripe tomatoes: The better the tomatoes, the better the flavor! Look for firm, ripe Roma tomatoes to get that sweet, juicy taste.

  • Toast your bread: Make sure to toast your French bread before serving the bruschetta. It adds extra crunch and keeps the bread from getting soggy!

  • Customize for your guests: For a twist, try adding a sprinkle of feta cheese or some red onion for extra flavor. You can even swap the balsamic glaze for a drizzle of olive oil if you prefer a lighter touch.
