Bruschetta Preparation Steps
- 1
Prepare the Tomato Mixture
Dice the tomatoes and place them in a bowl. Mince the garlic and add it to the tomatoes. Tear the basil leaves into small pieces and add them to the mixture. Drizzle with 2 tablespoons of olive oil, and season with salt and black pepper. Mix well and let it sit for at least 10 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
