Bruschetta Topping
Method
Preparation
- 1
Prepare the Tomato Mixture
In a medium bowl, combine the diced fresh tomatoes, chopped basil leaves, minced garlic, olive oil, balsamic vinegar, salt, and black pepper. Stir well to combine and set aside to let the flavors meld for about 15 minutes.

Toast the Bread
While the tomato mixture is resting, preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Arrange slices of your choice of bread (such as baguette or ciabatta) on a baking sheet and drizzle with olive oil. Toast in the oven for about 5-7 minutes or until golden brown.
