Tomato And Basil Bruschetta Recipe

Preparation Directions

1. 1

   Prepare the Crostini

   Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Slice the baguette into 1/2 inch thick slices. Place the slices on a baking sheet and brush both sides with olive oil. Bake for about 5-7 minutes or until they are golden and crispy.

2. 2

   Make the Tomato Topping

   While the crostini are baking, dice the tomatoes and place them in a bowl. Mince the garlic and add it to the tomatoes. Tear the basil leaves and add them to the mixture. Season with salt and black pepper, and drizzle with a tablespoon of olive oil. Mix well.

3. 3

   Assemble the Bruschetta

   Once the crostini are done baking, remove them from the oven. Spoon the tomato and basil mixture generously onto each crostini. Optionally, drizzle with a little more olive oil before serving.
