Easy Bruchetta with Tomato and Basil


Wednesday, October 26, 2011


I had a weird craving while at the grocery store for some Bruchetta. I don't even like tomatoes but for some reason I wanted it so I decided to get the ingredients. 

-1/2 baguette or crusty loaf of bread
- 2 large cloves of garlic, cracked away from skin
- Extra-virgin olive oil, for drizzling
- 2 small plum tomatoes, halved and seeded
- 15 fresh basil leaves
- Coarse salt
1. Chop seeded tomatoes and place in a small bowl.
2. Pile basil leaves on top of one another and roll into a log. Then thinly slice basil into green confetti and combine with tomatoes.
3. Add a drizzle of oil and a little coarse salt to the bowl and gently toss tomatoes and basil to coat.
4. Preheat broiler to high, if you prefer you can also grill the bread.
5. Place bread slices on a pan and char bread on each side. Make sure to keep an eye on them!
6. Once toasted, rub them with cracked garlic and drizzle with oil. 
7. Pile toast around the bowl and place a spoon in the bowl, serve and ENJOY!
