We pretty much live by the motto “Everything is better with bacon” at our house.

One of our favorite recipes to make this time of year, when the tomatoes are running rampant is bruschetta. Sometimes it is our entire meal. We recently discovered that our favorite bruschetta is even better with bacon!

What is Bruschetta?

It is a combination of fresh diced tomatoes, fresh sliced basil, olive oil, chopped black olives, capers and some salt and pepper.

It is usually served on top of some toasted slices of bread or crostini.

How to Make Bacon Bruschetta?

  • Chop tomatoes and basil.
  • In a bowl combine all the ingredients and stir to coat.
  • Refrigerate for 30-60 minutes to let the flavors meld together.
  • Fry bacon until crispy.

  • Toast bread. This helps prevent bread from getting too soggy from the tomato juices.
  • Put a scoop of bruschetta on top of toasted bread.
  • Add a sprinkle of cooked bacon on top and enjoy.

Do I Have to Peel the Tomatoes?

I don’t peel the tomatoes but you can if you would like. You can follow my directions for peeling tomatoes here.

How to Make Crostini

This mixture is served on some toasted baguette or crostini.  

  • Slice the bread
  • Brush with a little bit of olive oil
  • Place under the broiler

Now the bruschetta really can be a complete meal – it includes a grain, vegetable and a protein!!
