Onion Tomato Bruschetta with Balsamic Glaze

-
The balsamic glaze adds a lot flavor to this Onion Tomato Bruschetta. This is an easy to make appetizer when you are running short of time!

I always struggle to create quick and easy appetizers. Actually I don’t struggle but whenever I think of snack and appetizers, I think of Indian appetizers which I grew up eating and I have to say most of them are deep fried! We make all sorts of things like aloo tikki, samosa etc. and deep fry everything. So yes everything is delicious but not healthy and also needs some prep work. When I am running short of time and have friends/family coming over, bruschetta more often than not comes to my rescue! Isn’t it the easiest appetizer to make?

  3. In a plate take olive oil and add minced garlic to it. Also add salt, black pepper and mix.
  4. Dip the bread slices one by one in this oil-garlic mixture. Toast the bread in the oven at 350 F degrees for 8-10 minutes. Or you can toast on a grill/pan.

  6. The mixture will come to a boil, keep stirring till it thickens. This will take 4-5 minutes. You will know it's done when it coats the back of your spoon.

  8. Drizzle the balsamic glaze on top, sprinkle some more basil and serve the onion tomato bruschetta immediately!

The BEST Basic Pancake Recipe

-

For years, I used a box mix to make pancakes. It was easy — just add water (and maybe an egg, depending on the fanciness of the mix) and pour the batter on the griddle. Then the internet came along and showed me that I could make pancakes from scratch and at a fraction of the cost of a mix. And, surprise! The pancakes actually taste better. First, we must master the basic pancake. And while whipping up a batch takes no time at all, there are some rules to pancake creation to make sure your pancakes turn out fluffy and delicious every time: Ingredients 2 c. all purpose flour 1 T. baking powder 3 T. white sugar 1/2 t. salt 2 eggs 1-1/2 c. milk 2 t. vanilla 1 T. butter, vegetable oil or coconut oil Instructions: Preheat a griddle. If you’re using an electric griddle, preheat to 350 degrees. In a mixing bowl add flour, baking powder, sugar and salt. Mix well. Make a well in the center of the flour mixture and add eggs, milk and vanilla. Stir to combine. Remember,
