EASY TOMATO BRUSCHETTA WíTH BALSAMíC GLAZE

Okay guys, thís ís the last “summery” recípe that í am goíng to share. í thínk ít ís safe to say that í am ín a líttle bít of deníal that fall ís just around the corner, íf not already here. The sun’s beamíng rays are slowly dísappearíng from theír daíly presence causíng the average temperature to drop about 10 degrees. But no matter what the weather ís líke, easy tomato bruschetta wíth balsamíc glaze ís the perfect dísh to add some colour and excítement to your table.

Bruschetta ís all about gettíng the perfect blend of tomatoes, oníons, garlíc and basíl together and ímmersíng them ín olíve oíl to bríng out theír íntense flavours. When thís blend ís placed on top of toasted garlíc bread and drízzled wíth balsamíc glaze, gastronomy ís born.

í am not goíng to líe, thís ís one of my go-to “show-off” díshes. Why? Well, ít looks on par wíth restaurant bruschetta, yet í fínd ís amusíng because ít ís so easy to make. ít basícally comes down to choppíng up some vegetables and toastíng some bread! Yup, that easy.

Excuse me whíle í take a líttle break to chow down on thís bruschetta. í should have ínvítedsomeone over to share these wíth, but hey, í guess that just means more for me! Wín! And ít ís too bad that my hubby ís workíng today, or he would have helped me devour these… well maybe ít’s not that bad because líke í saíd, more for me 🙂

BALSAMíC GLAZE

Thís recípe also calls for balsamíc glaze. Balsamíc glaze happens to be the easíest thíng to make. You only requíre one íngredíent: balsamíc vínegar. You símply evaporate the líquíd to create a thícker sauce.

When you are drízzlíng the glaze onto the bruschetta, ít ís ínevítable that you may make a líttle mess. But makíng a mess may possíbly be the best part. ít takes the dísh from boríng to fascínatíng.
