ABOUT THIS RECIPE
Prepare to fall in love with Garlic Pesto Bruschetta! What makes this dish even more special is the heavenly combination of candied garlic and creamy burrata cheese on perfectly toasted bread. But wait, there’s more! Each bite is garnished with a spoonful of homemade pesto, rich with the fresh flavors of basil, parmesan, and a touch of lemon. It’s an explosion of flavors that will make your taste buds dance with joy! Whether it’s a good dinner or a delicious snack, the Garlic Pesto Bruschetta is sure to steal the show and make everyone smile.
HOW TO MAKE GARLIC PESTO BRUSCHETTA
This recipe consists of three main ingredients, each prepared separately:
- Tomato filling: Mix the tomatoes, olive oil, lemon juice, salt and pepper. Traditional bruschetta often contains onions, but I left them out because they can overpower the pesto. Balsamic vinegar is optional, but it adds a nice touch. It’s best to make them ahead of time so the tomatoes can marinate.
- Pesto: Although homemade pesto is best, store-bought pesto is also fine. For homemade pesto, blend fresh basil, Parmesan cheese, olive oil, garlic, lemon juice, and sunflower seeds (for a nut-free option) until smooth.
- Ciabatta: Cut a loaf of ciabatta into thin slices and toast in the oven with a little olive oil, softened garlic jam and burrata.
By preparing these ingredients separately, you will get the perfect balance of flavors and textures in your pesto bruschetta!
