Bruschetta

This is real Tomato and Basil Bruschetta, made the way Italians make it. One of three bruschettas for a Trio of Bruschetta Spread. And a great tip to make ahead!

Trio of Bruschetta: Celery and Lime Bruschetta

Amaze yourself with how fresh and tasty this simple celery and lime bruschetta is. The flavours of summer, on the the table in 10 minutes!

Cherry Tomato Bruschetta

Cherry Tomato Bruschetta is a simple and delicious appetizer for summer entertaining. With fresh tomatoes, fragrant basil, and grilled garlic toast, this easy recipe makes a beautiful presentation.

Oven-Roasted Tomato Bruschetta

When fresh tomatoes are out of season, this should be your go-to bruschetta recipe. By gently oven-roasting canned tomatoes (which are packed when truly ripe), you end up with a deeply flavored, jammy, and delicious topping. You won't even miss the fresh tomatoes—guaranteed.

Fresh Summer Tomato Bruschetta

These classic Italian tomato-topped toasts should be made only when tomatoes are at the peak of their season; the rest of the year, it's better to try my awesome oven-roasted recipe using canned tomatoes. The secret to this version is to use a mix of ripe heirloom varieties, and rub the garlic on the toasts instead of folding it into the tomatoes for a more even and less harsh garlic flavor.

Cherry Tomato, Green Bean, and Wax Bean Salad with Herbed Bread Crumbs from 'Kitchen Garden Cookbook'

Fresh tomato salads are, in my opinion, one of the greatest joys of summer eating. They're even better when you can use tomatoes you've picked yourself. In her new Kitchen Garden Cookbook, Jeanne Kelley pairs this staple of a summer garden with snappy green beans and pale yellow wax beans for a crunchy, colorful twist. A generous shower of herbed bread crumbs adds more texture to the salad, turning it into a dish akin to a light panzanella.

Warm Stuffed Piquillo Pepper Bruschetta

These Stuffed Piquillo Peppers with Goat Cheese are transformed into beautiful bruschetta perfect for parties. Winning the appetizer game is easy with this simple recipe.

Crostini With Blistered Cherry Tomatoes, Burrata and Chive Oil

The building blocks of a classic Caprese salad are re-imagined in these summery toasts. First, cherry tomatoes are blistered in a skillet until bursting with juice. Then creamier burrata takes the place of the more standard mozzarella. And in place of basil leaves, a quick and easy chive oil adds an herbal accent. The result makes for a great snack or light meal.

Mediterranean Flavors: White Bean Spread with Za'atar

Just because I like my white bean spread simple doesn't mean I like it boring. My favorite seasoning is za'atar, a blend of dried herbs (usually thyme, sometimes with others), sesame seeds, and spices like sumac.

Fava Bean Tartine With Goat Cheese and Marcona Almonds

Blanched and peeled fava beans that are roughly chopped and served on top of a goat cheese tartine with Marcona almonds and a few sprigs of chervil: This is the kind of toast you eat all by yourself while hiding in the kitchen so that nobody can steal a bite.
