Main Ingredients

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Bread

    Preheat your grill or grill pan over medium heat. Slice the baguette into 1/2 inch thick slices.

  2. 2

    Grill the Bread

    Brush each slice of baguette with a little olive oil on both sides. Grill the bread slices for about 2-3 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown and crispy.

  3. 3

    Prepare the Tomato Topping

    While the bread is grilling, dice the tomatoes and place them in a bowl. Mince the garlic and add it to the bowl with the tomatoes.

  4. 4

    Add Basil and Season

    Chop the fresh basil and add it to the tomato mixture. Drizzle with 2 tablespoons of olive oil and sprinkle with salt and black pepper to taste. Mix well.

Assembly

  1. 5

    Top the Bread

    Once the bread is grilled, remove it from the grill and place it on a serving platter. Spoon the tomato mixture generously over each slice of bread.

  2. 6

    Final Drizzle

    Drizzle any remaining olive oil over the topped bruschetta for added flavor.

  3. 7

    Serve

    Serve the bruschetta immediately while the bread is still warm. Enjoy!
