This Sun Dried Tomato Bruschetta is a double tomato bruschetta that uses both Roma tomatoes and sun dried tomatoes. The sun dried tomatoes give it great flavor and texture taking this bruschetta over the top!
Are you planning a Superbowl party?
Because if you are, I have great news! Me and 15 other amazing bloggers are hosting a $200 Amazon Giftcard Giveaway for one lucky winner for your Superbowl Party Planning!
In addition, each of them are planning to provide a recipe in their post – giving you ideas, inspiration and amazing food that will make you the hit of the party.
Forget the half-time show…everyone will be gathered around your scrumptious creations chowing down so they can get back to the big game. 🙂
You? Well, you’ll likely be sitting back watching them indulge, with a festive beverage in your hand, completely satisfied that everyone is loving your food so much. At least, that’s what I’ll be doing! 🙂
Bruschetta is always a sure-fire hit at any party, but what makes this bruschetta unique is that it uses both sun dried tomatoes and roma tomatoes.
The sun dried tomatoes give it incredible flavor and texture. It also has loads of garlic and the flavors blend so beautifully, it’s seriously mouth-watering!
And who doesn’t love a plump, juicy and mouth-watering Roma tomato? I love these tomatoes for their superior flavor. And I always pick the reddest, plumpest and freshest ones I can find. Those never disappoint!
When put together, they make an amazing bowl of scooping and dipping goodness!
You can serve this bruschetta with baguette bread cut into rounds OR do it like I did…
- cut the baguette into 1/2″ slices, place on a broiler sheet and broil until toasted and golden brown
- remove from oven, and turn each slice over; butter the opposite side with melted butter, then sprinkle with garlic power and grated parmesan cheese
- place back in the oven under the broiler and toast until golden brown
After that, it’s up to you! You can totally serve the toasts along with cold bruschetta, and it’s amazing…let me tell you. Your work can be done at this point! 🙂 Or…
You can then place the bruschetta on each of the toasts, top with mozarella cheese, pop those babies back in the oven and let the melting goodness begin.
Warning…if you do this, your guests may never leave…so be ready to have everyone move in!
Good luck with that! 🙂
Ok…now that you have your 1st Superbowl recipe, let’s get to what you all are here for.
