Gourmet Bruschetta Recipe FAQ

What is bruschetta topping made of? 

Bruschetta topping is commonly made of diced tomatoes, garlic, basil, olive oil and salt and pepper. However, recipes can have variations to include other ingredients like cheese and balsamic vinegar. 

How long does bruschetta stay fresh?

The freshness of bruschetta can vary depending on several factors, such as the ingredients used and how it is stored. Typically, homemade bruschetta can stay fresh for 1 to 2 days when stored properly in an airtight container in the refrigerator. However, for the best taste and texture, it is recommended to consume bruschetta within 24 hours of preparation.

Which bread to use for bruschetta? 

Traditional bruschetta is typically made with rustic Italian bread, such as a baguette. These bread varieties have a firm crust and a soft, airy interior, which makes them perfect for toasting and holding the toppings of bruschetta. The crust provides a satisfying crunch, while the soft interior absorbs the flavors of the toppings.
