Bruschetta Ingredients
Method
Preparation Directions
- 1
Prepare the Tomato Mixture
Dice the fresh tomatoes and place them in a bowl. Chop the fresh basil leaves and add them to the tomatoes. Mince the garlic cloves and mix them in as well. Drizzle with olive oil, add salt and black pepper to taste, and stir gently to combine. Let the mixture sit for at least 10 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.

Toast the Bread
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Slice the baguette or crusty bread into 1/2 inch thick slices. Arrange the slices on a baking sheet and brush one side with olive oil. Toast in the oven for about 5-7 minutes or until golden brown and crispy.

Assemble the Bruschetta
Remove the toasted bread from the oven. Spoon the tomato mixture generously onto the toasted side of each slice. Optionally, drizzle a little more olive oil on top before serving.
