Ingredients

  • 1/2 baguette or crusty long loaf bread, sliced (12 pieces)
  • 2 large cloves garlic, cracked away from skin
  • Extra-virgin olive oil, for drizzling
  • 3 small plum tomatoes, halved and seeded
  • 20 fresh basil leaves
  • Coarse salt

Directions

Preheat broiler to high, (if you prefer you can also grill the bread). Place bread slices on a broiler pan. Char bread on each side under hot broiler, keep an eye on it! Rub toasts with cracked garlic and drizzle with oil. Chop seeded tomatoes and place in a small bowl. Pile basil leaves on top of one another and roll into a log. Thinly slice basil into green confetti and loosely combine with tomatoes. Add a drizzle of oil and a little coarse salt to the bowl and gently toss tomatoes and basil to coat. Pile toasts around the bowl of topping. Place a spoon to scoop topping in bowl and serve.

    Quick, easy, and delicious! My aunt made it for my niece's birthday and was a huge success. I asked for the recipe and she refereed me to this page. I made it and it was just like hers, so good!

    This was excellent, but did require tinkering to suit my needs. Followed the tomato prep instructions, but added 2 cloves of pressed garlic and 2 Tbsp of Colavita balsamic vinegar (no other brand will do!. My prep: Go to the bakery. Buy 1 baguette. Ask the nice lady/gentleman behind the counter to slice it for you. Brush the sliced bread with olive oil. Using a slotted spoon, put a spoonful of the bruschetta on each slice on a foil-lined pan. Top each bread with shredded parmesan cheese. Bake at 400 for 10 minutes. Delicious!

    This is one of my go to recipes for a quick and delicious appetizer, or as a side dish with any italian meal. It's so simple, yet always gets rave reviews.
