Bruschetta is an antipasto from Italy consisting of grilled bread rubbed with garlic and topped with olive oil and salt. Variations may include toppings of tomato, vegetables, beans, cured meat, or cheese.

Step 1

In a mixing bowl, combine the diced tomatoes, minced garlic, chopped fresh basil, extra-virgin olive oil, and balsamic vinegar (if using).

Step 2 20mins

Season the tomato mixture with salt and black pepper to taste. Stir well to combine, and let it sit for about 15-20 minutes to allow the flavours to meld.

Step 3

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Place the baguette or bread slices on a baking sheet. Brush one side of each slice with olive oil.

Step 4 7mins

Toast the bread in the preheated oven for about 5-7 minutes, or until they become crispy and slightly golden.

Step 5

Remove the toasted bread from the oven and immediately rub one side of each slice with the peeled garlic clove. This imparts a subtle garlic flavour to the bread.

Step 6

Spoon the tomato mixture generously onto the garlic-rubbed side of each bread slice.

Step 7

Drizzle a little balsamic glaze over the top of each bruschetta if desired, and garnish with fresh basil leaves.

Step 8

Serve the bruschetta immediately as an appetiser or light snack.
