Mamma's Authentic Bruschetta Recipe courtesy Mamma Mia Ristorante, Dubai Marina

We at Mamma Mia Ristorante & Pizzeria really like taking care of our loyal fans. Here’s a little something straight out of Mamma’s kitchen (Mamma’s recipes are a traditional family secrets and convincing her to share them was not an easy task!) for those of you who relish Italian cuisine and would love to have a cook-in once in a while with loved ones.  

Here’s a simple and tasty cook-it-yourself Bruschetta recipe to impress your guests!

FIRST
In a bowl, make a mixture of:
chopped fresh tomatoes (small pieces)
chopped basil (as much as suits you)
olive oil and balsamic vinegar (not too soupy, taste it to get an idea)
minced garlic (as much as suits you)
a dash of salt.
(adjust ingredient quantities to YOUR taste)
Let mixture sit awhile so tomatoes absorb flavors. We let it sit over an hour.

SECOND
(Time this shortly before serving)Prepare the toasted bread by slicing a baguette (or your favorite long bread loaf) into slices about 1/2" thick. (You may want to cut the slices in half, depending on the size of the loaf. Final product is meant to be picked up as finger food.)
Brush pieces with olive oil and shake on a little garlic powder and some grated parmesan cheese. (Not a lot of garlic as you put some in the tomato mixture.)
Toast it in the oven until it just browns, at 350F degrees.
Spoon the tomato mixture on the toasted bread slices and serve!
