Gather the Ingredients

Assemble all the necessary ingredients for your bruschetta. You will need: baguette slices, ripe tomatoes, fresh basil leaves, garlic cloves, extra virgin olive oil, balsamic vinegar, salt, and pepper.

Prep the Tomatoes

Dice the ripe tomatoes into small chunks. Place them in a bowl and sprinkle with a pinch of salt and pepper. Let the flavors mingle while you move on to the next step.

Toast the Baguette Slices

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Arrange the baguette slices on a baking sheet and drizzle with olive oil. Toast them in the oven until golden and crispy, usually around 5-7 minutes.

Prepare the Garlic Rub

Take a clove of garlic and cut off the tip. Rub the exposed part of the garlic clove onto one side of each toasted baguette slice. This will infuse the bread with a subtle garlic flavor.

Assemble the Bruschetta

Take a generous spoonful of the diced tomatoes and place it on the garlic-rubbed side of each toasted baguette slice. Drizzle a little extra virgin olive oil and a touch of balsamic vinegar over the top.
