Ingredient List

  • Olive Oil– avocado oil can also be used in this recipe
  • Red Wine Vinegar
  • Shallots– these are smaller, milder and sweeter then a standard onion.
  • Capers
  • Dijion Mustard– not all mustards are created equal so be sure and use dijon and not yellow mustard
  • Garlic Cloves– the jarred version works just fine
  • Tomatoes– be sure and chop tomatoes and peaches to the same size for a more
  • Peaches– make sure your peaches are soft to the touch and not too hard
  • Basil– essential earthy, aromatic summer notes.
  • Thyme– if you want around your neighborhood you can sometimes find thyme in people yard!
  • Salt & Pepper– use liberally
  • Sourdough Baguette- be sure to slice and toast these before serving

Step By Step

  1. In a large bowl, whisk together the olive oil, red wine vinegar, chopped shallot, capers, Dijon mustard, and minced garlic until well combined.
  2. Add the chopped tomatoes, peaches, basil, and thyme. Gently toss until everything is evenly coated with the dressing.
  3. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Cover and refrigerate for about 1 hour to allow the flavors to meld together (optional)
  4. Just before serving, place sliced sourdough baguette on a baking sheet and spray with cooking spray. Place under the broiler just until golden and crisp, then flip each over and repeat.
  5. Spoon the peach and tomato mixture over the toasted bread and serve immediately.

Recipe Variations

Add Cheese: This bruschetta pairs beautifully with creamy textures. Try spreading a layer of whipped goat cheese, ricotta, or fresh burrata onto the sourdough before adding the peach-tomato topping.

Finish with Balsamic: For a touch of extra drama and sweetness, drizzle a thick balsamic glaze over the finished bruschetta right before serving.

Make Ahead: You can chop the fruits and make the dressing a few hours in advance, but keep them separate until about 30 minutes before serving so the fruit doesn’t get too mushy.
