Frequently Asked Questions
What is the best tomato for bruschetta?
Traditionally, Roma tomatoes are used as they have a low moisture content. It’s important to use sweet ripe tomatoes for the best flavour. If Roma are not available, look for heirloom or even cherry tomatoes. A mixture a different ripe tomatoes varieties will create a interesting colour and tasty variation.
Why is my bruschetta watery?
Larger varieties of tomatoes such as beefsteak have a higher water content, so take the time to remove the inner seeds and watery flesh. Let the diced tomatoes stand for 5 minutes then drain off excess liquid before adding other elements. Top the bruschetta immediately before serving to avoid juices seeping into the bread.

Keep your tomatoes at room temperature, as refrigerated tomatoes will be less flavoursome. Fresh vine ripened tomatoes are best, and even better if they are home grown and haven’t been cold stored in the supermarkets.
Does bruschetta contain onions?
Bruschetta is one of those recipes that can be adapted to personal tastes. Finely sliced spring onions are a nice addition as they wont overpower the dish.
