Bruschetta with Fresh Basil Recipe - (4.5/5) image

Provided by Foodiewife

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 fresh baguette
Good quality olive oil
1 large clove fresh garlic, peeled
1 to 2 small garlic cloves, finely minced
Roma tomatoes (these work best)
8 to 12 fresh basil leaves
Fresh Parmesan-Reggiano (not the stuff in the green can, please)
Kosher salt & fresh ground pepper

Steps:

  • Slice the baguette, thinly at an angle. Brush each slice with olive oil. Broil for about 1 minute, but stay close! They can burn very easily. Remove from the broiler and rub the clove of garlic, lightly. Set aside. Cut and de-seed the tomatoes, by pulling out the pulp and seeds with your fingers. Cut into small pieces. Peel and mince a small garlic clove and add to the tomatoes. Season with kosher salt & fresh cracked pepper, to taste. Add a little bit of olive oil-- just enough to coat the tomatoes. If desired, drizzle a little balsamic vinegar. Gently toss and allow to sit for a few minutes. Pile each basil leave on top of one another, and roll (like a cigar). Slice thin strips. Add to the tomato, garlic and oil mixture and gently toss. Add a small bite-sized mound on each crostini. With a micro-plane or small grater, garnish with fresh parmesan. Watch these disappear!

This bruschetta recipe is a winner! The combination of fresh basil, tomatoes, and garlic is perfect, and the balsamic vinegar adds a nice touch of acidity. I will definitely be making this again.
