n. toasted slice of bread seasoned with garlic olive oil and salt

Originally from the Italian "bruscare" meaning "to roast over coals," It is traditionally made by rubbing slices of toasted bread with garlic cloves, then drizzling the bread with extra-virgin olive oil. The bread is salted and peppered, then heated and served warm. Most people serve it topped with tomato, garlic, basil. However, these days restaurants and marketers are calling any piece of dough with a chopped up topping a "bruschetta".
