Summer Tomatoes And Prosciutto Bruschetta Recipe
Juicy, Crispy, Savory — The Ultimate Summer Bite
Some recipes remind you that good food doesn’t need to be complicated.
This Summer Tomatoes and Prosciutto Bruschetta is one of those. It's not just food — it's a sun-drenched Italian afternoon served on a slice of crunchy bread.
Last summer, while staying at a homestay near Udaipur’s Lake Pichola, the host offered this snack with a glass of chilled white wine. I’d barely unpacked my bag and was already hooked. The sweet burst of tomato, the salty hint from the prosciutto, the crunch of toasted baguette – magic.
Now, it’s my go-to when guests show up unexpectedly, or when I want something quick, classy, and just plain delicious.

Frequently asked questions
How do I store leftover bruschetta?
Bruschetta tastes best fresh. But if needed, store the tomato topping separately in a container. Keep toasted bread in foil at room temp. Assemble just before serving to keep that signature crunch.
Can I make this recipe gluten-free?
Yes! Use any gluten-free baguette or sourdough alternative. Just ensure it’s firm enough to hold the toppings. Brush with olive oil and toast as usual.
What can I substitute for prosciutto?
If you’re out or prefer non-pork options, go for turkey slices, smoked salmon, or even grilled eggplant strips. These swaps keep the flavors elevated and fit different dietary preferences.
