1
Prepare the Tomatoes
Dice the plum tomatoes into small pieces and place them in a mixing bowl.
2
Chop the Basil
Finely chop the fresh basil leaves and add them to the bowl with the diced tomatoes.
3
Mince the Garlic
Mince the garlic cloves and add them to the tomato-basil mixture.
4
Add Cheese and Seasoning
Grate the Parmesan cheese and mix it into the bowl. Then, drizzle in the extra virgin olive oil, and season with salt and black pepper. Mix everything well and set aside to let the flavors meld.

5
Slice the Baguette
Cut the baguette into ½ inch thick slices.
6
Prepare the Crostini
Brush both sides of each slice with extra virgin olive oil and place them on a baking sheet.
7
Toast the Bread
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Bake the slices in the oven for about 8-10 minutes or until they are golden and crispy.

8
Assemble the Bruschetta
Once the crostini are ready, remove them from the oven and allow them to cool slightly. Top each slice of crostini with a generous spoonful of the prepared tomato mixture.

Serve
Arrange the bruschetta on a serving platter and enjoy immediately as an appetizer or snack.
