Tomato and Basil Bruschetta
Hello everyone, my latest light bite recipe is for Tomato and Basil Bruschetta. I like to make my bruschetta with ciabatta bread but you can use whatever bread suits your preferences.
Other Light Bites
I've been working away on a few new recipes for Light Bites. In the next couple of weeks I'll add in a lovely Thai Veggie Noodle Bowl recipe and a Traditional Chicken Soup. I'm also working on a new recipe for twice baked potatoes and some homemade sausage rolls.
You can get into the kitchen straight away and make one of my other light bite recipes:
- Try out one of my hearty soup recipes Spiced Red Lentil Soup
- Have a salad bowl with my Smoked Salmon Salad Bowl
- Have some orzo with my Fresh Veggie Orzo Pasta Salad
Hope you find some new cooking inspiration and ideas.

One of my favourite Italian starters - Tomato and Basil Bruschetta. I've used a toasted ciabatta with garlic butter, tomatoes and fresh basil.
- 1 ciabatta loaf
- 300 g tomatoes (chopped)
- 4 tbsp olive oil
- 8 basil leaves (chopped)
- 2 garlic cloves (minced)
Slice the ciabatta into three and then cut those pieces horizontally in half
- Add the minced garlic to three tablespoons of the olive oil and drizzle over the bread on both sides
In a small bowl add the remaining olive oil to the chopped tomatoes and season to taste
- Tear up the basil and stir through the tomato mix
- Heat up a grill pan and toast the bread on both sides until golden brown
- Top the bread with the tomato mixture
