Description

This Grilled Tomato Bruschetta is a simple yet flavorful appetizer, featuring juicy tomatoes, fragrant garlic, and fresh basil atop crispy grilled bread.

Ingredients

Units

2 cups assorted tomatoes, sliced, halved, or quartered into bite-size pieces
8 slices crusty bread (such as baguette or ciabatta)
2 cloves garlic, minced
2 tablespoons olive oil
Salt and pepper to taste
Fresh basil leaves, for garnish

Instructions

Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
Brush the bread slices with olive oil on both sides.
Grill the bread slices for about 2 minutes on each side, until they are crispy and have grill marks.
In a bowl, combine the tomatoes, garlic, olive oil, salt, and pepper.
Top each grilled bread slice with the tomato mixture.
Garnish with fresh basil leaves and serve immediately.

Notes

For the best flavor, use ripe, in-season tomatoes. You can prepare the tomato mixture ahead of time and let it marinate for more flavor. If you don’t have a grill, you can toast the bread in a hot oven or on a stovetop grill pan. Store any leftover tomato mixture in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
