Method

Preparation of Topping

  1. 1

    Prep the Tomatoes

    Wash and dice the ripe tomatoes into small pieces. Place them in a mixing bowl.

  2. 2

    Chop the Basil

    Rinse the fresh basil leaves, pat them dry, and chop them into small pieces. Add them to the tomatoes in the mixing bowl.

  3. 3

    Mince the Garlic

    Peel and mince the garlic cloves. Add the minced garlic to the bowl with the tomatoes and basil.

  4. 4

    Mix the Topping

    Drizzle the extra virgin olive oil over the tomato, basil, and garlic mixture. Sprinkle in the salt and add black pepper to taste. Gently toss everything together until well combined.

Prepare the Bread

  1. 5

    Slice the Bread

    Slice the baguette or Italian bread into 1/2 inch thick slices.

  2. 6

    Grill the Bread

    Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Place the sliced bread on the grill and toast each side for about 2-3 minutes or until they are golden brown and have grill marks.

Assemble the Bruschetta

  1. 7

    Top the Bread

    Once the bread is grilled, remove it from the grill and immediately top each slice with a generous spoonful of the tomato, basil, and garlic mixture.

  2. 8

    Serve

    Arrange the bruschetta on a serving platter. Optionally, drizzle a little more olive oil on top before serving. Enjoy!
