Ingredients
Scale
- 1 Sourdough baguette
- 1 large or 2 medium heart-house or heirloom tomatoes (ripe)
- 2 fresh cloves of garlic
- 3 tbs of good quality olive oil
- 1 tsp dried basil
- 1 tsp salt
Instructions
- Toast the Bread: Preheat the oven to 450°F (230°C). Slice the baguette into 1-inch-thick pieces and arrange them on a baking sheet. Bake for 1–2 minutes per side, flipping once, until golden brown and crisp. Keep a close eye to prevent burning.
- Make the Tomato Topping: In a bowl, combine the diced tomatoes, one clove of crushed garlic, dried basil, salt, and one tablespoon of olive oil. Stir well and set aside to let the flavors meld.
- Garlic Rub: Once the baguette slices are out of the oven, take the second clove of garlic and gently rub it over the top of each crisp while still warm.
- Assemble and Serve: Drizzle or brush the remaining tablespoon of olive oil over each toast just before serving. Spoon about a tablespoon of the tomato mixture on top of each. Serve and enjoy!
Notes
Don’t store assembled bruschetta (with the topping on the bread), as the bread will get soggy. Keep the components separate until ready to serve.
