Ingredients
Scale
- For the Bruschetta:
- 4 large ripe tomatoes (diced)
- 2 cloves garlic (minced)
- 1/4 cup fresh basil (chopped)
- 2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
- For the Bread:
- 1 French baguette or Italian bread (sliced)
- 2 tablespoons olive oil (for brushing)
Instructions
- Prepare the Tomato Mixture: In a bowl, combine the diced tomatoes, minced garlic, chopped basil, balsamic vinegar, olive oil, salt, and pepper. Toss gently and let it sit for about 15-20 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
- Toast the Bread:
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Arrange the sliced bread on a baking sheet. Brush each slice with olive oil.
- Bake for about 5-7 minutes or until the bread is golden and crispy. Alternatively, you can grill the bread for added flavor.
- Assemble the Bruschetta: Once the bread is toasted, remove it from the oven. Spoon the tomato mixture onto each slice just before serving to prevent sogginess.
- Serve: Arrange the bruschetta on a platter and enjoy immediately!
