Method

Preparation of Topping

  1. 1

    Chop the Tomatoes

    Wash the ripe tomatoes and dice them into small pieces. Place them in a mixing bowl.

  2. 2

    Add Garlic and Basil

    Mince the garlic cloves and add to the bowl with the diced tomatoes. Roughly chop the fresh basil leaves and mix them in as well.

  3. 3

    Season the Mixture

    Drizzle the extra virgin olive oil over the tomato mixture. Add salt and black pepper to taste. Stir gently to combine all the ingredients.

Preparing the Bread

  1. 4

    Slice the Baguette

    Cut the baguette into 1-inch thick slices diagonally to allow for a larger surface area.

  2. 5

    Grill the Bread

    Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium heat. Place the baguette slices on the grill and toast for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown and have grill marks.

Assembly

  1. 6

    Top the Bread

    Once the bread is grilled, remove it from the heat. Spoon the prepared tomato mixture generously onto each slice of grilled bread.

  2. 7

    Serve

    Serve the bruschetta immediately while the bread is warm and the topping is fresh. Enjoy!
