  1. My favorite starter! Gotta try those different variations too they look so delicious. I usually go with the original and add some ricotta on to it, works really good.

  2. I love bruschetta. Love these ideas Chef Jack. Really do love mushrooms so will try that second one. I heard that little whisper of look amazing

  3. Oh man I can't remember the last time I had bruschetta. I have been thinking of buying a basil plant recently… Traditional is definitely the way to go for me.

  4. I have got a hint for you, try to dry fry the mushrooms until almost ready and then add the fat. A game changer for me.

  5. I generally use Roma (aka 'Egg') tomatoes when I want to dice the tomatoes. A lot more flesh and negligible liquid loss when you slice them up, I often 'sweat' the chopped tomatoes (and onions & cucumbers for a salad) with salt in a collander for about an hour, then the salty liquid remaining on the surface of the chopped veg (not the stuff that dripped into the bowl) is enough to keep most people happy.

  6. They all look great. A few twists and a little recipe from me: we have a great italian restaurant around the corner, here. That is Maria e Toni in Ellerau, Germany (if you ever come to Hamburg 🙂
    They serve bruschetta as an apetizer with a nice twist I never found elswhere: (this is for the classic version) anchovy! Just one or two will do for this amount. To create just a hint. Finely chop it, then smear it to a paste into the oil. Also very finely diced shallot goes well with that mixture.
    A little recipe for the red raddish: finely sliced (maybe click 2 on the mandolin) and then you wanna add sugar and salt to taste and maybe a tbsp of mustard. Mix well and add the raddish.
    Sugar and salt will draw moisture. After some 15min, your viangrette is done! You wanna add some chopped italian parsley. That's it!
    Recipe comes from CALLEkocht. You should be able to find it when typing in the name of the channel + "knackiger radieschensalat".
    Greetings from the far north of Germany!

  7. Hi Jack,
    I love these Bruschetta combos!
    Did you use fresh or frozen peas & edamame? It looks fresh in the video so if I used frozen would you recommend the same cooking time ?
    Bisous from Brittany! (Western France) 😊

  8. The traditional method for bruschetta also involves removing the tomato skin👨🏻‍🍳 makes it even better

  9. Great tutorial! I was surprised you didn’t add any balsamic vinegar to the original version. My favorite way is that way but with a drizzle of balsamic glaze on top. Life changing!
