PREPARATION FOR TOMATO BRUSCHETTA ON WHOLE WHEAT TOAST

  • Toast The Bread: Lightly toast the whole wheat bread until golden and crisp. This crisp ensures a firm base for the toppings.
  • Prepare The Tomato Mixture: In a small bowl, combine the diced tomatoes, minced garlic, olive oil and balsamic vinegar. Stir well to distribute the flavours evenly.
  • Season To Taste: Add a pinch of salt and black pepper, if desired, to enhance the flavour of the tomatoes.

TIPS FOR TOMATO BRUSCHETTA ON WHOLE WHEAT TOAST

  • Use Fresh Tomatoes: Opt for ripe, juicy tomatoes for the best flavour and natural sweetness. Cherry or Roma tomatoes work well.
  • Allow Flavours To Develop: Let the tomato mixture sit for a few minutes before topping the toast to allow the flavours to blend.
  • Avoid Soggy Bread: Toasting the bread well prevents it from becoming soggy when topped with the tomato mixture.
  • Customise The Texture: For a smoother topping, lightly mash the tomatoes with a fork before adding them to the toast.
  • Drizzle For Extra Flavour: A final drizzle of olive oil or balsamic glaze enhances the overall taste.
  • Pairing Suggestions: Serve alongside a fresh salad, soup, or a side of olives for a complete Mediterranean experience.

VARIATIONS IN TOMATO BRUSCHETTA ON WHOLE WHEAT TOAST

  • Cheesy Twist: Add a sprinkle of grated Parmesan or crumbled feta for extra savoury flavour.
  • Herb Infusion: Mix in fresh basil, oregano, or thyme to enhance the Mediterranean taste.
  • Garlic-Rubbed Bread: Instead of mixing garlic with the tomatoes, rub a halved garlic clove directly onto the toasted bread for a milder flavour.
  • Spicy Kick: Add a pinch of red pepper flakes or a drizzle of hot sauce for a spicy variation.
  • Avocado Addition: Mash half an avocado onto the toast before adding the tomato mixture for a creamy texture.
  • Balsamic Glaze: Use a thicker balsamic glaze instead of vinegar for a richer, more intense sweetness.
  • Crunchy Upgrade: Sprinkle toasted pine nuts or sunflower seeds over the bruschetta for added texture.
  • Protein Boost: Add a slice of smoked salmon or prosciutto for a protein-packed appetiser.

PREPPING AND STORAGE

  • Refrigeration: Store the tomato mixture separately in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 24 hours. Assemble fresh for the best texture.
  • Freezing: Freezing is not recommended, as tomatoes lose their texture when thawed.
  • Make-Ahead: Prepare the tomato mixture in advance and store it in the fridge. Toast the bread just before serving to keep it crisp.
