although i love eating bruschetta, i’ve never done one until yesterday and totally agree with MM that having the best/freshest ingredients is the first step to a delicious meal!!! i tried the pomodoro type with basil and parmesan and will try again this week with oregano and mozarella.

This is inspiring. Before I read this post, I was proposing to my husband to just have a light tapas meal for Noche Buena. Stuff like manchego cheese, jamon serrano, etc. Maybe, I’ll incorporate some bruschetta with grilled veggie toppings for more color and variety. Thank you!

I would have gone with the tomatoes and cheese with garlic. But then again, maybe tuna (canned kind) with tomatoes and cheese always seem to work!

One of my favorites to prepare!

Everything looks scrumptious, MM! A brustolina reminds me, maybe not in appearance, but certainly in its purpose, of the stove top parilya that we used to toast bread when I was growing up. Are parilyas still available in the Philippines? I haven’t been home in 20+ years. Wonderful and surprisingly (for me) evocative post as always!

How do you manage to make simple meals look so inspired! A feast for the eyes as well as the palate. And healthy, too. I don’t know which is more tempting: your cookbook or your restaurant. Will wait ten years for the book, if necessary. And isn’t it nice to dream of your restaurant, even if open just once weekly, with betty q. as visiting guest chef :-)

Yes Betty Q: Sweet, sour, salty, the perfect combination, and you can think of your exotic combinations. For the hoi polloi, Heinz ketchup has that perfect combination, tho I don’t mean to suggest at all slathering MM’s bruschetta with Heinz ketchup. Just observed lately that hubby ( who is on a diet) has taken to putting Heinz ketchup on his rice (when I am not looking), even before the main meal gets to the table. Now I understand why. Ugghh!
