1
Prepare the Bread
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Slice the baguette or Italian bread into 1/2-inch thick slices. Arrange them on a baking sheet.
2
Toast the Bread
Brush the bread slices lightly with olive oil on both sides. Toast in the preheated oven for about 5-7 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy.
3
Make the Topping
While the bread is toasting, dice the tomatoes and place them in a mixing bowl. Finely chop the fresh basil leaves and add them to the bowl.
4
Combine Ingredients
Mince the garlic cloves and add them to the tomato and basil mixture. Drizzle the remaining olive oil and balsamic vinegar over the top, then season with salt and black pepper. Toss everything together gently.
5
Assemble the Bruschetta
Once the bread is toasted, remove it from the oven and let it cool slightly. Spoon the tomato mixture generously onto each slice of toasted bread.
6
Serve
Serve immediately while the bread is still warm and enjoy your delicious bruschetta!
