Ingredients
- 8 roma tomatoes about 1 ½ lbs , diced
- 2-3 tablespoons red onion diced
- ½ cup extra virgin olive oil divided, plus more for serving
- 10-12 Torn basil leaves plus more for serving
- 4 cloves fresh garlic divided
- 1 teaspoon oregano leaves or ½ teaspoon dried
- ½ teaspoon kosher salt or to taste
- 1 loaf crusty bread like Ciabatta or baguette
- balsamic glaze for serving (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 450F. Line a baking sheet with foil or parchment paper; set aside.
- In a medium bowl, add diced tomato, onion, 3 tablespoons olive oil, basil, minced garlic, oregano, and salt; stir to combine. Set the bowl in the refrigerator for 15 minutes, or up to 2 hours, to marinate.
- Meanwhile, prepare the bread. Slice the loaf into ½-inch slices. Place the slices on the prepared baking sheet and brush both sides of each with the remaining olive oil. Bake for 6-10 minutes, keeping an eye out for burning, until they are golden brown.
- Remove the toasted bread from the oven and allow it to cool slightly.
- Season the tomato mixture to taste, if desired, then spoon it over each slice of bread. Serve garnished with a drizzle of balsamic glaze and a little more fresh basil, if desired.

Notes
- Storage: Store the tomato mixture in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days. Store toasted bread separately at room temperature to keep it from getting soggy.
- Bread Options: Ciabatta or baguette work best, but any crusty bread will do.
- Make Ahead Tip: You can prep the tomato topping ahead of time—just don’t assemble until right before serving.
- Optional Garnishes: Add a drizzle of balsamic glaze or a sprinkle of shaved parmesan before serving for extra flavor.
