I love this bruschetta recipe and I love that I can add as much parmesan cheese as I want to my recipe…I think the restaurants never put enough on. This recipe is super easy and tastes great.

More aboutĀ Bruschetta

Italians pronounce bruschetta as [bru’sketta]. In the United States, bruschetta is sold in their grocery stores as a tomato based condiment. Burschetta is used erroneously to refer to the topping instead of the bread. Bruschetta comes from the Roman dialect bruscare, meaning ‘to roast over coals’. Bruschetta originated in ancient Rome when olive growers toasted bread to have people sample their fresh pressed oil.
