Bruschetta Ingredients

Method

Bruschetta Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Bread

    Slice the baguette or Italian bread into 1/2 inch thick slices.

  2. 2

    Grill the Bread

    Preheat your grill or grill pan over medium heat. Brush each slice of bread lightly with olive oil on both sides. Place the slices on the grill and toast for about 2-3 minutes on each side, or until golden brown. Remove from heat and set aside.

  3. 3

    Prepare the Tomato Mixture

    Dice the fresh tomatoes and place them in a mixing bowl. Chop the fresh basil leaves and add them to the bowl with the tomatoes.

  4. 4

    Add Seasoning

    Mince the garlic cloves and add them to the tomato and basil mixture. Drizzle in the remaining olive oil, and sprinkle with salt and black pepper to taste. Toss everything gently to combine.

  5. 5

    Assemble the Bruschetta

    Spoon the tomato mixture generously over each slice of grilled bread.

  6. 6

    Drizzle with Balsamic Glaze

    Finally, drizzle the balsamic glaze over the topped bruschetta for added flavor.

  7. 7

    Serve

    Serve immediately while the bread is warm and the topping is fresh.
