Bruschetta is a traditional Italian preparation with its roots in ancient Rome. Originally, it was a simple way to use up old bread, which was flavored with a bit of olive oil and garlic. Over time, this recipe has evolved and become popular in various regions, turning into a delicious appetizer or starter. In several Latin American countries, although bruschetta keeps its original name, it is also common to find variations that might be called "toasted bread with tomato" or simply "Italian toast," adapted to local ingredients and culinary customs.
This recipe stands out for its simplicity and freshness, combining the crunchiness of the bread with the intense flavor of garlic, the smoothness of the tomato, and the unmistakable touch of Parmesan cheese. It is ideal for sharing at gatherings or as an accompaniment to different dishes.
