Ingredients
- 4 Zucchini
- 10 slices Rustic Bread
- to taste Extra Virgin Olive Oil
- to taste Fine Salt
- 1 clove Garlic
- to taste Vinegar (optional)
Preparation
Wash and remove the ends of the zucchini.
Using a vegetable peeler, slice them lengthwise and grill them on both sides for a few moments.
Place the zucchini slices on a rack to cool without overlapping them; this way they will release excess moisture and avoid creating that annoying condensation that would also ruin the crispness of the bruschetta.
Cut the bread into slices about a finger thick. Grill them on both sides and place them, one by one, on a tray or cutting board.
Place 6-7 slices of zucchini (depending on size) on each slice of bread. Finally, season the bruschetta with a little finely chopped garlic, fine salt, extra virgin olive oil, and, if desired, a few drops of white or balsamic vinegar.
Voilà, the bruschetta with grilled zucchini are ready to be served and enjoyed in all their flavorful simplicity.
Bon appetit
