Bruschetta Topping

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Tomato Mixture

    Dice the Roma tomatoes and place them in a mixing bowl. Chop the fresh basil leaves and add them to the bowl with the tomatoes.

  2. 2

    Add Flavorings

    Mince the garlic cloves and add them to the bowl. Then, drizzle in the olive oil and balsamic vinegar. Season with salt and black pepper to taste.

  3. 3

    Mix Together

    Gently toss all the ingredients together until well combined. Let the mixture sit for at least 15 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.

  4. 4

    Prepare the Bread

    While the tomato mixture is sitting, preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Slice a baguette or Italian bread into 1/2 inch thick slices.

  5. 5

    Toast the Bread

    Arrange the bread slices on a baking sheet and brush both sides with olive oil. Bake in the preheated oven for about 5-7 minutes or until golden brown and crispy.

  6. 6

    Assemble the Bruschetta

    Remove the toasted bread from the oven and let it cool slightly. Top each slice with a generous spoonful of the tomato mixture and serve immediately.
