Tomato Bruschetta with Balsamic Glaze

Who loves a good appetizer to start night? I love eating bruschetta at a restaurant. It’s not too filling and gets your taste buds ready for what else is to come. This very easy tomato bruschetta is super simple and tastes divine. It’s not that labour intensive either. This makes a perfect starter dish for when you’re entertaining your family & friends as well as compliments a main dish like a good spaghetti bolognese.

Of course, you can make your own balsamic glaze but to keep it simple, what you buy at the store is great as well. My only big tip for this is to make sure you let the tomato mixture sit in the fridge for at least an hour so that it can bring out all the flavours. It also goes well with a good Chianti. Delicious!

  1. I gave this a go too. I think I may just have to hire you to do it for me when I have my next party. Do you do that?
