1
Prepare the Tomato Mixture
Dice the Roma tomatoes and finely chop the garlic. In a bowl, combine the tomatoes, garlic, fresh basil, olive oil, balsamic vinegar, salt, and black pepper. Mix well and let it sit for 15 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
2
Prepare the Bread
Slice the loaf of bread into 1-inch thick slices. Brush both sides of each slice with olive oil.
3
Toast the Bread
Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Place the bread slices on a baking sheet and toast in the oven for about 5-7 minutes or until golden brown and crisp.
4
Assemble the Bruschetta
Remove the toasted bread from the oven and top each slice with the tomato mixture. Sprinkle with grated Parmesan cheese.
5
Serve
Arrange the bruschetta on a serving platter and serve immediately as a delightful appetizer.
