Share:
Ingredients
- 1 ½ lbs ripe roma tomatoes seeds removed, finely diced, and gently patted dry (about 6-7 tomatoes)
- ¼ cup fresh basil leaves sliced into thin ribbons
- ¼ cup finely diced white onion
- 3 cloves garlic finely minced, + 1 additional clove, sliced in half
- 1 Tablespoon olive oil + additional for brushing bread
- sea salt to taste
- 1 French or Italian baguette
Instructions
- To prepare Bruschetta, combine diced tomatoes, chopped basil, diced onion, 3 minced garlic cloves, 1 tablespoon olive oil and sea salt. Stir well and allow to rest for at least an hour for flavor to fully develop (refrigerate if you will not be eating within 2 hours).
- Once ready to serve, prepare your Bruschetta toast by first preheating your oven to 415F (215C).
- Slice baguette on an angle into ½" thick slices. Place on an ungreased cookie sheet
- Brush each slice of bread with olive oil, bake 5-8 minutes or until bread is lightly toasted.
- Once bread has finished baking, rub the top of each slice with the sliced half of your garlic clove.
- Give your tomato mixture a good stir and then top warm bread with bruschetta topping mixture and serve.
Notes
- Bruschetta will keep several days in the refrigerator stored in an airtight container.
- If you would like to drizzle a balsamic glaze on your Bruschetta you can usually find pre-made glaze in the grocery store (usually in the salad dressing aisle) or you can make your own by cooking ¾ cup of quality balsamic vinegar in a small saucepan over medium heat, stirring occasionally until the vinegar is reduced in volume by at least half and has thickened. Be warned that the smell is very potent!
