Ingredients:

Instructions:

  • On your stovetop over medium heat, cook bacon in a saucepan until golden brown. Once cooked, remove the bacon and set aside on a paper towel. Keep the remaining bacon grease in the pan for the next step.
  • Add sliced onion to the saucepan with the bacon grease and sauté on medium heat.
  • Once the onion is ready, add Dei Fratelli Low Sodium Diced Tomatoes, bacon, brown sugar, and Worcestershire sauce to the pan and bring to a boil. Once boiling, reduce the heat to low and allow the jam to simmer until thickened.
  • Serve with brie and mini toasts or crostini for a delicious appetizer spread, or add this Bacon Bruschetta to your favorite grilled cheese, burger, or grilled chicken for an easy way to elevate your regular dinner plans.

Chef's Tip:

How do I serve Bacon Bruschetta with brie?
To make brie and Bacon Bruschetta, slice a wheel of brie cheese, or place mini brie rounds on crostini or mini toasts and top with a generous spoonful of the warm Bacon Bruschetta.  The heat from the Tomato Bacon Bruschetta gently melts the creamy brie for a delicious, crowd-pleasing appetizer.
Can you use Bacon Bruschetta on sandwiches and burgers?
Yes! While it makes a fantastic warm dip for crostini, this spread is also incredible on handhelds. Try adding a spoon of bacon bruschetta to a gourmet grilled cheese sandwich or smearing it over a freshly grilled cheeseburger for a sweet, savory, and smoky flavor boost.
What are the best canned tomatoes to use for Bacon Bruschetta?
The best canned tomatoes for this recipe are Dei Fratelli Diced Tomatoes. Because they are canned at peak ripeness, they hold their structure well while simmering alongside the bacon grease, brown sugar, and onions, resulting in a thick, rich texture that clings perfectly to toast. 
Can I make Bacon Bruschetta ahead of time?
Yes! You can prepare the bacon bruschetta mixture entirely in advance. Allow it to cool, transfer it to an airtight glass container, and store it in the refrigerator for up to 1 week. Simply gently reheat it in a saucepan over low heat before serving over fresh toasts or brie.
