Instructions
How to Make Irresistible Classic Bruschetta
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Slice the baguette diagonally into 1/2-inch pieces.
- Place the baguette slices on a baking sheet and lightly brush them with extra virgin olive oil. Toast until golden brown, about 5-7 minutes.
- Chop your ripe tomatoes and add them to a bowl. Mix with diced garlic, chopped fresh basil, salt, pepper, and a splash of olive oil.
- Once your bread has cooled slightly, generously spoon the tomato mixture onto each toasted slice.
- Optionally drizzle a bit more olive oil or a balsamic glaze over the top of the assembled bruschetta.
- Enjoy your irresistible classic bruschetta warm with friends or as a delightful personal snack.
Notes
For optimal crunch, slice the baguette diagonally to increase the surface area. Assemble toppings just before serving to prevent sogginess.
