Bruschetta with Tomatoes and Basil

by Editorial Staff

A simple Italian snack in the form of toasted bread, grated with garlic and oiled with olive oil. This is the classic version. However, fried ciabatta slices (the most suitable Italian bread for bruschetta) are filled with a variety of fillings – cheese, ham, olives, etc. Most often they are tomatoes with basil.
