Ingredients
- 1 French baguette, sliced into 1/2-inch pieces
- 4 ripe tomatoes, finely diced
- 1/4 cup fresh basil leaves, chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
- Salt and black pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Set your oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Prepare the Baguette: Arrange the baguette slices in a single layer on a baking sheet. Toast in the preheated oven for 5 minutes, or until they are golden and crispy. Remove from the oven and let cool.
- Make the Tomato Mixture: In a medium bowl, combine the diced tomatoes, chopped basil, minced garlic, olive oil, and balsamic vinegar. Season with salt and black pepper to taste. Mix well.
- Assemble the Bruschetta: Spoon the tomato mixture generously onto each toasted baguette slice.
- Serve: Enjoy immediately while the bruschetta is still warm and crispy.
Notes
- For a more intense flavor, let the tomato mixture sit for about 10 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to meld.
- You can also add a sprinkle of grated Parmesan cheese on top for an extra touch of richness.
- If you prefer a milder garlic flavor, lightly rub the toasted baguette slices with a cut garlic clove before topping with the tomato mixture.
This Bruschetta recipe is quite possibly the best summer appetizer for family gatherings. Everyone loves fresh Bruschetta and I always have people asking for this recipe. Enjoy!
