Bruschetta Ingredients

Method

Bruschetta Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Tomato Mixture

    Dice the ripe tomatoes and place them in a bowl. Mince the garlic cloves and add to the tomatoes. Tear the fresh basil leaves and add them to the mixture. Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with salt and black pepper. Mix gently and set aside to marinate for about 10 minutes.

  2. 2

    Grill the Bread

    Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium heat. Slice the baguette or Italian bread into 1/2-inch thick slices. Brush both sides of the bread slices with olive oil and grill for about 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown and crispy.

  3. 3

    Assemble the Bruschetta

    Remove the grilled bread from the heat. Spoon the tomato mixture generously onto each slice of grilled bread. Serve immediately while the bread is still warm.
