Why You Will Love This Recipe
This isn't just another recipe; it's a memory on a plate. I remember summers spent at my grandmother's cottage, the air thick with the scent of ripe tomatoes and herbs. She always made a simple but unforgettable bruschetta with ingredients fresh from her garden. This recipe for Rustic Tomato Bruschetta brings me right back to those sun-drenched afternoons.
Ingredients
-
For the Bruschetta Topping:
- 2 cups ripe Roma tomatoes, diced
- 1/4 cup fresh basil leaves, chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
-
For the Bread:
- 1 baguette, sliced into 1-inch thick rounds
- 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 1 clove garlic, halved
Step-by-Step Instructions for Making the Recipe
- Prepare the Tomatoes: In a medium bowl, gently mix together the diced tomatoes, chopped basil, minced garlic, olive oil, and balsamic vinegar. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Let it sit for at least 15 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
- Toast the Bread: Preheat your oven's broiler. Brush both sides of the baguette slices with olive oil. Place the slices on a baking sheet and broil for 1-2 minutes per side, or until golden brown and slightly crispy. Watch carefully to prevent burning!
- Add Garlic: Once the bread is toasted, rub the cut side of the halved garlic clove over each slice, infusing it with a subtle garlic flavor.
- Assemble the Bruschetta: Spoon the tomato mixture generously onto each toasted bread slice.
- Serve: Serve immediately and enjoy the burst of fresh flavors!
