Bruschette Tricolore translates to tricolor brsuchetta – topped with pesto, marinated tomatoes, and soft stracchino cheese. Just like at Nessun Dorma in Manarola, Le Cinque Terre, Italy.
Most people are familiar with bruschetta (broo-sket-tah) – crusty (usually grilled) bread, rubbed with garlic, topped with olive oil and salt and often marinated tomatoes and basil as well. But did you know that there are a variety of toppings beyond the most popular tomatoes? Variations may include, vegetables, beans, cured meat, or cheese.
Granted, the version I am sharing today is in fact topped with tomatoes, but that’s not all! (Cue infomercial voice) There’s also fresh basil pesto and creamy stracchino cheese, inspired by the bruschetta we enjoyed at Nessun Dorma in Manarola, Le Cinque Terre, Italy a few years ago. It was one of the best things I ate on our trip and I couldn’t be happier with my replica.
Well, other than the obvious lack of being in Italy.
