I know there's an "a" on the end of Bruschetta. But I can't edit the stupid title. grrrr
Five or so years ago, I stumbled onto a bunch of recipes on Kroger's site from various restaurants and chefs. Many were quite good and they had the originator of Bucca di Beppo offering some of his restaurant's recipes. As I am a fan of their bruschetta, I saved that one (and others) to my computer. It's now available a lot of places online.
I baked a focaccia, a recipe I like from The Herb Farm Cookbook.
Though I didn't dimple the top or use as much oil for the top.
Prepped the tomatoes.
Added the seasonings and oil.
Let it steep for 30 minutes or so then tasted. These were vine ripened tomatoes, but still out of season so they need some help. A little balsamic vinegar was my choice for correcting. Still not as good as summer tomatoes, but I sometimes give in to my out of season cravings. Flavor will continue to build as it stands at room temp.
Cut the focaccia in half, then that half into quarters and then cut those quarters in half to expose the inside.
Brushed with garlic oil and toasted them under the broiler. Then topped with the tomato basil mixture.
It was still pretty good, even out of season.
