What is a tomato Bruschetta?

Bruschetta was originally an Italian side dish. It was a piece of simple toast served to the side of pasta usually made to eat the leftover sauce with. Occasionally a garlic clove was rubbed over the piece of toast to infuse the garlic flavour. Moving forward a bruschetta started to be served as a full appetiser dish with various toppings, beginning from tomatoes and basil, with several kinds of cheese like fresh mozzarella or ricotta.

How to make Creamy Ricotta and Tomato Bruschetta
