Bruschetta Recipe

Bruschetta Directions

1. 1

   Prepare the Bread

   Preheat the grill or a grill pan over medium-high heat. Cut the baguette or ciabatta loaf into 1/2-inch thick slices.

2. 2

   Grill the Bread

   Brush both sides of the bread slices with 2 tablespoons of olive oil. Place the slices on the grill and cook for about 2-3 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown and have grill marks. Remove from the grill and let cool slightly.

3. 3

   Prepare the Topping

   While the bread is grilling, dice the Roma tomatoes and place them in a mixing bowl. Mince the garlic cloves and add them to the tomatoes.

4. 4

   Mix the Topping

   Chop the fresh basil leaves and add them to the tomato and garlic mixture. Pour in the remaining 2 tablespoons of olive oil, and season with salt and black pepper to taste. Mix everything together gently.

5. 5

   Assemble the Bruschetta

   Spoon the tomato mixture generously onto the grilled bread slices. Serve immediately while the bread is still warm.
