BRUSCHETTA CON POMODORINI

Bruschetta (pronounced bru-sketta) is THE Italian antipasto found in all Italian restaurants, both in Italy and abroad. It is made of sliced bread rubbed with garlic and typically topped with tomatoes, olive oil, chopped garlic and salt as the essential ingredients and then toasted for a few minutes in the oven.
In this recipe,  I sprinkled some oregano. During the Summer, when fresh basil is in season, I add that too.
(Please, make sure your oregano is from countries like Italy, Greece, or Turkey. This means a trip to a specialty / ethnic shop).

There are many other variations: with mozzarella, olives, prosciutto, etc.

Try making your own version, but don't over do it using too many ingredients at once. Keeping it simple is always best in Italian cuisine.

Bread quality is of crucial importance for what may seem an inconsequential dish, just as a good quality of oil.
Use rustic artisan breads for absolute perfection of Bruschetta. 

Impress your guests and... your palate! It is easy!
