Make Tomato Bruschetta Recipe

1. Cut a baguette into 6 slices keeping the width of the slices between 0.75 to 1 inches.
2. Heat a pan or skillet and place the baguette slices on it. If making a large batch, then its better to toast the slices in an oven.
3. When one side becomes lightly toasted, turn over the slices and toast the second side.
4. When both the sides are lightly toasted, remove them in a plate or tray. If you want, you can toast the slices more.
5. Now halve a garlic and rub the sliced end of the garlic on each toasted bread. If you want you can even brush a bit of extra virgin olive oil on the bread.
6. Next place the prepared tomato basil mixture on each toasted bread and serve immediately. Or else you can keep the toasted bread and the tomato topping separately. Let your family members or guests help themselves to place the tomato stuffing on the toasted bread croutons.
7. Serve Tomato Bruschetta as a starter or a snack.
