I made this to take with me to a dinner. It was served on cold, garlic rubbed, toasted bread, and it was really very good. I added a small amount of olive oil with half a clove of crushed garlic to the tomato and basil mix.

We had it on a cold wintery day with some nice home made minestrone soup and it was BEAUTIFUL! Thanks for a great recipe. I drissled garlic infused E V olive oil on the bread as I was out of whole cloves and it was good substitute.

Used different ingredients.
This was a good recipe. I made some modifications: use dried Italian seasoning instead of the fresh, added a splash of balsamic vinegar and added some salt and crushed chillies. The basic recipe just seems way too bland. Even with these modifications, I would probably make it stronger tasting next time. Overall, this is a great recipe...just needs some spice. Would definitely make it again. Enjoy!

Altered ingredient amounts.
I use less onion add minced garlic to the bruschetta instead of rubbing it on the bread. Using dried basil works fine. I always add some salt to taste.

I absolutely love bruschetta, and this recipe is authentic and very close to the recipe that I use, so I'm reviewing this one to put in a good word for it. The only things that I do differently are to brush the bread with a little olive oil before toasting, and to leave out the onion and instead add grated mozzerella cheese to the mixture. Cooks, be sure to use plum tomatoes; it's the only way to make bruschetta. I'd also caution people to be careful not to rub too much garlic on the bread; it will overpower the tomato mixture and ruin the recipe! Which would be really, really tragic.

I lived in Italy for 4 months and this is closer to a true bruschetta. Rubbing the garlic directly on the bread may make it strong -- but it IS the authentic method -- it's how they did it while I was in Italy. One good suggestion is to drizzle olive oil over the top of the tomatoes. FRESH basil is NECESSARY for this recipe!! Great, Authentic Recipe!! deb

What a wonderful recipe. Everyone loved it but had to keep a few pieces aside without the garlic. I served them at a party where I had a basket of the prepared baguettes and people spooned them on themselves. Worked out great!
