  • 2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil

👩‍🍳 How to Make Italian Tomato Bruschetta

  1. Prepare the Tomato Topping
    In a mixing bowl, combine diced tomatoes, minced garlic, olive oil, chopped basil, balsamic vinegar (if using), salt, and pepper. Stir well and let sit for 10 minutes to develop flavor.

  2. Toast the Bread
    Slice the baguette into ½-inch slices. Toast on a grill, in a toaster, or under the broiler until golden and crisp. While still warm, rub the top of each slice with a cut garlic clove for extra flavor.

  3. Assemble the Bruschetta
    Spoon the tomato mixture generously over the toasted bread slices. Drizzle with a little extra olive oil and a sprinkle of sea salt.

  4. Serve Immediately
    Serve fresh while the bread is warm and the tomatoes are juicy. Great with wine or a light cocktail!

✅ Tips for Perfect Bruschetta

  • Use ripe, in-season tomatoes for the best flavor
  • Don’t skip the garlic-rubbed toast—it's authentic and delicious
  • Add a few shaved parmesan curls for extra richness
  • Want a low-carb version? Serve the topping on sliced cucumbers

🥂 What to Serve with Tomato Bruschetta

Storage Tips
