Bruschetta Ingredients

Method

Bruschetta Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Tomato Topping

    In a mixing bowl, combine the diced tomatoes, chopped basil, minced garlic, olive oil, salt, and black pepper. Mix well and let it sit for about 15 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.

  2. 2

    Toast the Bread

    Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium heat. Slice the baguette or Italian bread into 1/2 inch thick slices. Brush both sides with olive oil, then grill for about 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown and crispy.

  3. 3

    Assemble the Bruschetta

    Once the bread is toasted, remove it from the grill and top each slice generously with the tomato mixture. Serve immediately.
