1
Prepare the Tomato Mixture
Dice the fresh tomatoes and place them in a mixing bowl. Add finely chopped basil leaves, minced garlic, olive oil, balsamic vinegar, salt, and black pepper. Mix well and set aside for about 10 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
2
Prepare the Bread
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Slice the baguette or Italian bread into 1/2-inch thick slices. Arrange the slices on a baking sheet.
3
Toast the Bread
Drizzle or brush olive oil on both sides of the bread slices. Toast in the preheated oven for about 5-7 minutes or until golden brown and crispy.
4
Assemble the Bruschetta
Remove the toasted bread from the oven and let it cool slightly. Top each slice with a generous spoonful of the tomato mixture.
5
Serve
Serve immediately while the bread is still warm. Enjoy your fresh bruschetta!
