10 Minute Grilled Bruschetta
Description
The 10 Minute Grilled Bruschetta recipe begins by combining cherry tomatoes with minced garlic, kosher salt, black pepper, olive oil, balsamic vinegar, and chiffonade-cut fresh basil to create a vibrant topping. Meanwhile, sourdough bread slices are brushed with olive oil and grilled quickly over high heat until toasted and marked by the grill. Slices are cut in half, then heaped with the tomato mixture.
The result is a contrast of textures and flavors: warm, smoky, crisp bread underneath the juicy, tangy, and aromatic tomato topping. The garlic and basil provide fresh herbal notes, while the balsamic vinegar adds a subtle acidity that brightens the dish.
This bruschetta is served immediately to maintain the crispness of the toasted bread and freshness of the topping. It makes a light appetizer or snack with simple ingredients and minimal preparation time.
Ingredients
- 2 cups cherry tomatoes halved or quartered
- 8 garlic finely minced, cloves
- salt kosher salt
- black pepper kosher salt
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 to 2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
- ¼ cup basil chiffonade
- 4 lices sourdough bread
Instructions
- Preheat your grill to the highest heat.
- In a large bowl, combine the tomatoes, minced garlic and a big pinch of salt and pepper. Toss well. Drizzle in 1 tablespoon of olive oil and 1 to 2 tablespoons of balsamic vinegar. Toss again. Add in the fresh basil and toss.
- Brush the bread slices with the remaining olive oil. Place them directly on the grill. Grill for 1 to 2 minutes, until grill marks appear and the bread is toasted. Flip and grill 1 to 2 minutes more.
- Remove the bread from the grill and slice it in half. Top each piece with a heaping scoop of the tomatoes and garlic. Serve immediately!
