Bruschetta Ingredients

Method

Bruschetta Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Baguette

    Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Slice the baguette into 1/2 inch thick slices and arrange them on a baking sheet.

  2. 2

    Toast the Bread

    Brush the top of each slice with olive oil and toast in the oven for about 5-7 minutes, or until golden brown.

  3. 3

    Prepare the Topping

    While the bread is toasting, dice the tomatoes and place them in a mixing bowl. Mince the garlic and add it to the tomatoes.

  4. 4

    Add Seasonings

    Chop the fresh basil leaves and add them to the tomato mixture. Drizzle with 2 tablespoons of olive oil, and season with salt and black pepper to taste. Mix well.

  5. 5

    Assemble the Bruschetta

    Once the bread is toasted, remove it from the oven and let it cool slightly. Spoon the tomato mixture generously onto each slice of toasted bread.

  6. 6

    Serve

    Drizzle with additional olive oil if desired and serve immediately.
