Tomato Topping

Bruschetta Bread

Method

Tomato Topping

  1. 1

    Prepare Tomatoes

    Dice the Roma tomatoes and place them in a medium mixing bowl. If tomatoes are very juicy, lightly drain excess liquid to prevent soggy bruschetta.

  2. 2

    Mix Topping

    Add chopped basil, minced garlic, olive oil, and balsamic vinegar to the tomatoes. Season with salt and black pepper to taste.

  3. 3

    Rest Flavors

    Gently stir to combine and allow the mixture to rest at room temperature for 10–15 minutes so the flavors meld.

Bruschetta Bread

  1. 4

    Prepare Bread

    Preheat oven to 400°F (205°C). Arrange baguette slices in a single layer on a baking sheet.

  2. 5

    Toast

    Brush both sides of each slice lightly with olive oil. Toast in the oven for 8–10 minutes, flipping halfway, until golden and crisp.

  3. 6

    Garlic Rub

    Remove toasted bread from the oven and immediately rub one side of each slice with the cut side of the garlic clove for added flavor.

  4. 7

    Assemble

    Spoon the tomato topping generously onto each toasted bread slice just before serving.
