Inspired by the Julie and Julia motion picture, here is a little twist on one of the most the delicious-looking recipes to grace the movie screen! Unless you and your guests are prepared to eat the bruschetta immediately, I suggest keeping the heirloom tomato mixture separate from the bread because it will become soggy. Serve the tomato mixture in one bowl and the bread on another serving platter. Be prepared to get a little messy!
Ingredients
- 1 pound small heirloom tomatoes , halved
- 0.25 cups chopped fresh basil
- 2 tablespoons truffle-infused olive oil , such as Olevano
- kosher salt and ground black pepper to taste
- 2 tablespoons olive oil , or more as needed
- 1 tablespoon chopped garlic
- 1 French baguette , cut into 1-inch-thick slices
- 1 clove garlic , peeled and halved
Instructions
-
1
Toss heirloom tomatoes with chopped basil, truffle oil, salt, and pepper. Set aside.
-
2
Heat olive oil in a large skillet; add chopped garlic. Cook baguette slices until browned, 2 to 3 minutes per side. Rub each side of the baguette with the halved garlic clove.
-
3
Spoon tomato mixture over the baguette slices.

Quick and Easy Clam Chowder
The best ever clam chowder you have ever tasted, and it is easy and fast. You will pass this recipe along to your family and friends. If you like more clams you can always add more. Sometimes I will also cube potatoes and throw them in.
Smash Dumpling Tacos
These smash dumpling tacos are your favorite pork dumplings simplified—no rolling and tucking—by spreading the filling on flour tortillas, then cooking them smash-style. You get all the flavor, and then, because you've used a tortilla, you call it a taco.
Pasta Fredda
Cold or warm and simple pasta 'salad'. A recurrent dish in Italy during the warm/hot seasons. Best served with a light, dry white wine. Serve lukewarm or cold. The more it is allowed to sit, the more the flavors attach to the other ingredients.
