Bruschetta Ingredients

Method

Bruschetta Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Tomato Mixture

    Dice the ripe tomatoes and place them in a mixing bowl. Chop the fresh basil leaves and add them to the bowl. Mince the garlic cloves and mix them in as well.

  2. 2

    Season the Mixture

    Drizzle 2 tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil over the tomato mixture. Season with salt and black pepper to taste. Toss everything together gently and set aside to marinate for about 10 minutes.

  3. 3

    Prepare the Bread

    While the tomato mixture is marinating, preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Slice the French baguette into 1/2-inch thick slices. Arrange the slices on a baking sheet.

  4. 4

    Toast the Bread

    Brush each slice with the remaining 2 tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil. Bake in the preheated oven for about 5-7 minutes, or until the bread is golden and crispy.

  5. 5

    Assemble the Bruschetta

    Remove the toasted bread from the oven. Spoon the tomato mixture generously onto each slice. Finish by grating Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese over the top.

  6. 6

    Serve

    Serve immediately while the bread is warm. Enjoy your delicious bruschetta!
