INGREDIENT NOTES AND THEIR KETO SUBSTITUTIONS:

KETO BREAD:

  • We have to utilize low-carb keto bread because it provides a crispy base while keeping the bruschetta low in carbohydrates. As a substitute, we can use almond-flour bread.

TOMATOES:

  • Fresh ripe tomatoes will provide juicy texture and fresh flavor to the topping. As an alternative, you can use cherry tomatoes.

OLIVE OIL:

  • This olive oil delivers nutritious fats and richness to the bruschetta. You can replace it with avocado oil.

GARLIC:

  • Fresh garlic will provide a strong and savory flavor. As a substitute, you can use a small amount of garlic powder.

BASIL:

  • Fresh basil will provide the classic Italian flavor. As an alternative, you can use dried basil or fresh parsley.

PARMESAN CHEESE:

  • Parmesan will add a salty and savory flavor to the tomato topping. You can replace it with mozzarella cheese.

BALSAMIC VINEGAR:

  • Balsamic vinegar will add a slightly sweet and tangy flavor. For stricter keto, you can replace it with fresh lemon juice.

SALT AND BLACK PEPPER:

  • Salt and black pepper will enhance the overall flavor. Adjust them according to taste.

INSTRUCTIONS:

  1. We warm the empty oven to 200°Celcius.
  2. Put the keto bread slices on a tray.
  3. Coat both sides gently using olive oil and toast for almost six minutes.
  4. Mix the black pepper, diced tomatoes, salt, garlic, balsamic vinegar, basil, and Parmesan in a dish.
  5. Whisk carefully till the topping is uniformly blended.
  6. Distribute the tomato mixture on the toasted bread.
  7. Keep the bruschetta back into the oven for just two minutes to warm up the topping.
  8. Drizzle a little additional olive oil and serve quickly.

TIPS:

  • We utilize ripe and firm tomatoes to avoid the bruschetta from getting watery.
  • strain out additional liquid from the tomatoes and then include them in the topping.
  • You could toast the keto bread till crisp so it will hold the tomato mixture.
  • Include the tomato topping shortly before eating.
  • Avoid baking the tomato topping for an extra time, as the fresh tomatoes taste better.
