A delightful twist on the classic bruschetta, this recipe features a vibrant tomato and basil topping served on crispy crostini.
Dice the ripe tomatoes into small pieces and place them in a mixing bowl.
Use a sharp knife to avoid squishing the tomatoes while dicing.
Chop the fresh basil leaves finely and add them to the bowl with the tomatoes.
Roll the basil leaves together before chopping for easier handling.
Season the tomato and basil mixture with kosher salt, freshly ground pepper, and extra virgin olive oil. Stir gently to combine.
Taste the mixture and adjust the seasoning as needed.
Slice the crusty baguette into thin slices and arrange them on a baking sheet.
Use a serrated knife for clean slices.
Toast the baguette slices under a broiler until golden brown on one side, then flip and toast the other side.
Keep an eye on the bread to prevent burning.
Rub the surface of each warm baguette slice with a clove of fresh garlic.
The warmth of the bread helps release the garlic's aroma.
Spoon the tomato and basil mixture onto each toasted baguette slice and serve immediately.
Serve the crostini immediately to enjoy the crisp texture of the bread.
