Description
There aren’t many secrets behind a great Bruschetta. All you need are fresh, seasonal ingredients and the right wine to go alongside. Try it!
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 large or 3-4 medium (fresh, local, amazing tomatoes, diced small)
- Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
- 1/4 cup fresh basil leaves (sliced into ribbons)
- 8 slices of a great bread (sliced about 1/2” thick)
- 1 – 2 cloves fresh garlic
- High quality fresh extra-virgin olive oil
Instructions
- Place the tomatoes in a colander over a plate to catch the juices. Season with salt and pepper, and half of the basil. Let sit at room temperature while you toast the bread.
- Toast the bread in a 350° oven directly on the rack until golden brown, about 5 minutes. Or grill. You want nicely browned grill lines, but still a softer interior – best to soak up juicy tomatoes.
- Remove from oven, and rub each slice all over with a garlic clove. Brush each slice with olive oil. Place the bread slices on a serving plate, top the bread with tomatoes, garnish with remaining basil and drizzle with extra-virgin olive oil right before serving.
