How to Make Italian BRUSCHETTE | The Basics & Beyond of Bruschetta

#bruschetta #crostini #recipe

We've wanted to make a video all about bruschetta for quite a while, but it's hard to show the basics without making a ton of examples. Eva finally decided it was time to have a BIG 'OL BREAD PARTY and make a bunch of her favorite Italian bruschette.

They're quick and easy to make, and so simple you don't even need a recipe once you've seen how they're made. Give one or two of these ideas a shot and let us know what you think!

Which bruschetta or crostino looks yummiest to you? Let us know!

[rosspalumbo]

"the difference between Bruschetta and Crostino is that Bruschetta uses a very good *Italian* bread."
"....crostino is acceptable the _french_ bread"
Eva stoking the flames of the eternal culinary feud between Italy and France, I love it.

I nominate Eva for the "World's Most Amazing Hair" award! Such an lovely lady with incredible cooking and teaching skills, thanks for sharing Eva.

Don’t question Eva on Italian pronunciation while she’s cleaning knives 😂😋

[huggledemon]

Well now I’m curious about how to make the green tomato jam!🥰🥰🥰

As I watch the videos of this channel, I can't stop thinking that Harper and Eva are a beautiful couple. Harper is very lucky that Eva is such an amazing cook, she is so cultured about italian cuisine! I learned so much great stuff about italian cuisine thanks to Eva's knowledge, she's a real encyclopedia of gastronomy and everything she cooks iss so delicious!

I used to have soup parties because I was born in November. I would make 3-4 soups with side dishes and everyone could make their own soup. Now I feel the urge to have a bruschetta party and move the Italian summer into autumn. 🎉

Another Sunday morning treat You two are incredible. Facing 100° heat in Calabria and still turning on your oven. Talk about dedication.

[Jessejrt]

So many great ideas! And, I'm so happy for Harper and Eva following their passion to teach and educate...and then parlaying that into giving back to an entire community! Bravo to you both!

The tropea onion is called a "torpedo" onion in the US. Not the easiest to find but I have seen them on occasion in specialty produce stores here in CA.
I think I need to make bruschetta for my next party. Those are gorgeous!

Finally Sunday - the waiting is over😊 I'm still in Sardinia... For lunch we had a great lasagna and for tonight there are no meal plans yet. But now! there is good bread, very good olive oil and oregano. Plus some goat cheese and homemade red wine. Life can be so simple and beautiful! Thank you so much Eva & Harper

Love this channel! Eva is a genius with food!

I’m learning the Italian language and about the food at the same time.

I’m American, and like many Americans, my ancestors were Italian. As I try to cook authentically, I understand what probably happened with so much Italian American food. When I can’t find what I need, I look for the closest example that is fresh and of good quality. I’m sure that’s how the separation between Italian and Italian American food occurred. Right now, I am making an eggplant dish with zucchini because the zucchini where I live are beautiful now.

è così che funziona

Beautiful food, Eva, made with love, as always!

I could eat just bruschetta as a meal especially with all of these delicious options. I don't know that I could pick a favorite, maybe a favorite of the day 😋 because they all look amazing. 🤗

My wife and I LOVE your videos. She is from Japan (pastry chef) and I am an American ( savory chef) keep up the great work.

[nancystinger]

My father was from Calabria so your videos give me a taste of where he was from and more of my family culture If I ever visited there I don’t think I would leave. . I don’t know which would be my favorite but probably can’t come close to making theme here but will try . Love you guys ❤️Ciao

Just passed Tucson the other day on my four week vacation to the Southwest.
Back home I'm having friends tonight for wine and bruschetta. Chef Eva gave me some great inspirations for bruschetta. THANKS!

A Bruschette bar!!! 😃😃😃. Totally keeping this one on my mind for any parties and get-together ideas. Maybe combine it with a charcuterie board and a fruit tray. What a fantastic menu!!!

Btw, Eva for ever changed my cooking style when handling garlic cloves. I now remove the center vein every time I’m going to chop it up or slice it 🙂. I can now eat and digest garlic thanks to Eva!!! This was always an area of suffering for me 😢 but not anymore 😌☺️. I’ve also shared the advise and always say where I learned it 🤩. Thank you Harper & Eva!!!

Vidalia onions are also sweet. You can eat them like an apple also and would work very well in bruschetta.

[bsteven]

20:19-20:32 Seeing all the bruschette lined up together reminds me of a beauty pageant 🤩 -- how can you choose the most beautiful of them all, since they are ALL bellissima?! 😍

[aris]

20:31 However, you could have a party with a buffet only with all the variations of Bruschette that Eva presented in this video ! 😋👍
