Bruschetta Recipe

Bruschetta Preparation

1. 1

   Prepare the Bread

   Preheat your grill or a grill pan over medium heat. Slice the baguette or Italian bread into 1/2-inch thick slices. Brush both sides of each slice with olive oil.

2. 2

   Grill the Bread

   Place the oiled bread slices on the grill and toast for about 2-3 minutes on each side or until they are golden and have grill marks. Remove from the grill and set aside.

3. 3

   Prepare the Topping

   Dice the fresh tomatoes and finely chop the basil leaves. In a mixing bowl, combine the diced tomatoes, chopped basil, minced garlic, olive oil, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to combine.

4. 4

   Assemble the Bruschetta

   Spoon the tomato and basil mixture generously onto each grilled slice of bread. Drizzle with additional olive oil if desired.

5. 5

   Serve

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