Bruschetta Ingredients

Method

Preparation Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Garlic Rounds

    Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Slice the baguette into 1/2-inch thick rounds. Place them on a baking sheet.

  2. 2

    Garlic Infusion

    Peel the garlic cloves and rub them over one side of each bread round. Drizzle olive oil over the rounds.

  3. 3

    Toast the Bread

    Bake the bread in the preheated oven for about 5-7 minutes, or until they are golden and crispy.

  4. 4

    Prepare the Tomato Mixture

    While the bread is toasting, dice the Roma tomatoes and place them in a bowl. Chop the fresh basil leaves and add them to the tomatoes.

  5. 5

    Season the Mixture

    Drizzle the tomato and basil mixture with olive oil, and season with salt and black pepper to taste. Toss gently to combine.

  6. 6

    Assemble the Bruschetta

    Once the bread is toasted, remove it from the oven. Spoon the tomato mixture onto each garlic round.

  7. 7

    Garnish

    Top each bruschetta with shaved parmesan cheese.

  8. 8

    Serve

    Serve immediately while the bread is still warm.
