Steps:

  • Measure out 2 Tbsp of Olive Oil into a bowl and season with salt and pepper. Half the tomatoes and scrape out the seeds. Mop up any moisture on the tomatoes using kitchen paper. Dice the tomatoes and add to the olive oil. Chop up a small bunch of basil leaves and add to the tomatoes, stirring to combine all the ingredients.
  • Cut the bread on an angle into 1cm thick slices, rub the garlic clove over one side and brown under the grill.
  • Spoon the tomato mixture over the bread and serve. Simple but delicious.
  • Some may choose to use onion in the tomato mixture but I prefer this dish without.

If there are kids in the kitchen who want to help out, you can ditch the knives for this easy appetizer; just rip the tomatoes and basil with your hands. The tomato mixture can also be tossed with pasta to make a fresh sauce.From the book "Lucinda's Rustic Italian Kitchen," by Lucinda Scala Quinn (Wiley).

Yield Makes 20 pieces

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 8-inch loaf round Italian bread, cut in half crosswise, and cut into 10 slices per side
3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
4 to 6 Roma tomatoes, cut into 1-inch dice (about 3 cups)
1/3 cup fresh basil leaves, cleaned, stacked in a pile, rolled, and cut into a fine julienne
6 cloves garlic, 3 crushed and 3 cut in half lengthwise
2 teaspoons coarse salt
Freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 450 degrees Fahrenheit. Set the oven rack in the top part of the oven.
  • Place sliced bread on rimmed baking sheets. Cook 10 minutes or until lightly toasted. Flip bread and toast 5 more minutes.
  • Meanwhile, in a medium-sized bowl, place the olive oil, tomatoes, basil, 3 crushed garlic cloves, salt, and pepper. Stir to combine.
  • Rub the 3 halved garlic cloves, cut side down, over every piece of toasted bread. Spoon a couple tablespoons of tomato mixture over each piece of toast and serve immediately.

Tips:

  • Use fresh, ripe tomatoes. This will give your bruschetta the best flavor.
  • Chop the tomatoes finely. This will help them release their juices and make the bruschetta more flavorful.
  • Season the tomatoes with salt, pepper, and olive oil. This will help to enhance their flavor.
  • Let the tomatoes marinate for at least 30 minutes. This will allow the flavors to meld and develop.
  • Use a good quality bread. A crusty Italian bread is a classic choice, but you can also use a baguette or ciabatta.
  • Toast the bread lightly. This will help it to be more crispy and flavorful.
  • Top the bread with the tomato mixture. You can also add other toppings, such as fresh basil, mozzarella cheese, or grilled vegetables.
  • Drizzle the bruschetta with olive oil and season with salt and pepper.
  • Serve the bruschetta immediately. Bruschetta is best enjoyed fresh.
