Bruschetta Ingredients
Method
Bruschetta Preparation
- 1
Prepare the Tomato Mixture
Dice the fresh tomatoes and place them in a bowl. Mince the garlic cloves and add them to the tomatoes. Chop the basil leaves and add to the mixture. Drizzle with 2 tablespoons of olive oil, and season with salt and black pepper. Mix well and let it sit for 10 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.

Toast the Bread
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Slice the baguette or Italian bread diagonally into 1/2 inch thick slices. Place the slices on a baking sheet and brush each side with the remaining olive oil. Toast in the oven for about 5-7 minutes or until golden brown and crispy.
