Bruschetta alla Julie and Julia

After watching Julie and Julia “again,” with the Garcia foodies (JD’s Aunties) we had no choice but to make our own bruschetta as a tribute to the movie, which we enjoyed with a bottle of Lambrusco Dell'Emilia Bianco (Trader Joe's).

Heirloom Tomato Bruschetta
  • 4 slices Filone bread (or large French baguette)
  • 16 oz. assorted heirloom cherry tomatoes, quartered 
  • Extra virgin olive oil 
  • 1-2 clove garlic, peeled and chopped 
  • 2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar 
  • sea salt and fresh ground pepper to taste 
  • 3 leaves chopped fresh basil
Toss tomatoes, chopped garlic, basil, 3 tablespoons olive oil, balsamic vinegar, 1 teaspoon sea salt and a pinch of pepper in a bowl, refrigerate until ready to serve.

Fry bread in 2-3 tablespoons of olive oil in a skillet, browning on each side, and adding 1 more tablespoon if oil if necessary.

Spoon bruschetta onto pan toasted bread and serve.

Serves 2.
