Instructions
- Combine the diced tomato with fresh basil, dried oregano, a pinch of salt, 1 to 1 1/2 tablespoons olive oil, oregano, a pinch of salt, and a splash (1 teaspoon) of balsamic vinegar. Chill.
- Slice the baguette into 1/4 to 1/2 inch slices. Cut off the end of the garlic clove and rub the garlic onto each side of each piece of bread. Drizzle both sides of the sliced bread with a little olive oil (or use a brush to brush it on).
- Toast on a grill or in a hot skillet until browned on both sides.
- Top hot bread with cold tomato bruschetta and serve immediately.
Notes
- Perfectly ripe tomatoes will make this recipe even better! To find the perfect tomatoes look for heavy tomatoes with a smooth skin. You want it to be plump and free of any big blemishes, bruises, or bug bites. You want to choose a high-quality vine ripened tomato, so it can have as much flavor as possible. You can also try heirloom varieties which can yield both colorful and delicious results.
