Bruschetta Ingredients

Method

Bruschetta Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Tomatoes

    Dice the fresh tomatoes and place them in a bowl. Add chopped basil leaves, 1 tablespoon of olive oil, salt, and black pepper. Mix well and set aside.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Bread

    Slice the baguette or Italian bread into 1/2-inch thick slices. Brush both sides with olive oil and toast them on a grill or in a grill pan until golden brown and crispy.

  3. 3

    Add Garlic

    Once the bread is toasted, rub one side of each slice with a cut garlic clove for added flavor.

  4. 4

    Assemble the Bruschetta

    Top the toasted bread slices with the tomato and basil mixture. Drizzle with additional olive oil if desired.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Arrange the bruschetta on a serving platter and enjoy immediately while the bread is still warm.
