Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 medium Fresh ripe tomatoes
- 10 leaves Fresh basil leaves
- 2 cloves Garlic
- 3 tablespoons Extra virgin olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
- 1 loaf Baguette or rustic Italian bread
- 2 teaspoons Balsamic glaze (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) or set your broiler to high.
Dice the tomatoes into small, even-sized pieces and transfer them to a medium-sized mixing bowl.
Chop the basil leaves finely and add them to the bowl with the tomatoes.
Mince the garlic cloves and mix them into the tomato and basil mixture.
Drizzle the extra virgin olive oil over the tomato mixture and season with salt and black pepper. Stir well to combine and set aside to let the flavors meld.
Slice the baguette or rustic bread into 1/2-inch thick slices. Arrange the slices on a baking sheet.
Toast the bread slices in the oven or under the broiler for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown and slightly crispy. Keep a close eye to avoid burning.
Once the bread slices are toasted, remove them from the oven and let them cool slightly.
Spoon the tomato mixture generously onto each slice of bread. If desired, drizzle a small amount of balsamic glaze on top for added flavor.
Serve the Bruschetta Casalinga immediately as an appetizer or snack. Enjoy!
