Garden Fresh Tomato Bruschetta
Report
Garden fresh tomato bruschetta is my favorite finger food. It's light, fresh, and ideal for a summer gathering and needs just 10 to 15 minutes to prep.

Ingredients
- 1 loaf crusty French baguette
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes
- 8-9 fresh basil leaves
- 4-5 cloves of garlic
- 80 ml good quality olive oil
- Sea salt – to taste
- Crushed pepper – to taste
Instructions
- French loaf or baguette works best. Slice the bread and drizzle olive oil on top. Grill it on BBQ, olive oil will make the bruschetta crispy and crunchy. Immediately rub a garlic clove over grilled bread slices so the bread can absorb garlic flavor.
- Heirloom tomatoes, beefsteak tomatoes, cherry tomatoes, and grape tomatoes all work. Prep the topping - dice tomatoes, and chop basil leaves into thin strips. Mix tomatoes, basil leaves, sea salt, cracked pepper, and good-quality olive oil. Cover and rest it for at least 1 hour. Tomatoes will absorb all the flavors and release some liquid into the bowl.
- Just before serving scoop tomatoes from the liquid and top it over a crunchy grilled bread slice. Don't waste the liquid left from the tomato-basil mix. Drizzle it over the bruschetta along with balsamic vinegar. Serve and enjoy immediately.
Notes
- Nutritional Info - Please remember that the nutritional information provided is only a rough estimate and can vary greatly based on the products used.
- For best results use ripe firm tomatoes. Heirloom tomatoes, cherry tomatoes, and beef steak tomatoes all work.
- If you don't have access to fresh tomatoes use canned whole tomatoes. Drain the juice, dice tomatoes, and mix it with other ingredients for topping.
- For extra flavor drizzle balsamic vinegar on top.
- Don't waste leftover juices from the tomato mix. Use that as well to drizzle on top of the bruschetta.
