Preparation Directions
- 1
Prepare the Tomato Mixture
Dice the Roma tomatoes and finely chop the garlic and fresh basil. In a mixing bowl, combine the tomatoes, garlic, basil, balsamic vinegar, olive oil, salt, and black pepper. Mix well and let it sit for about 10 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.

Toast the Bread
While the tomato mixture is resting, preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Arrange the bruschetta slices on a baking sheet and drizzle with olive oil. Toast in the oven for about 5-7 minutes or until golden brown.
