Garden Fresh Bruschetta
A few weeks ago, my mom and I had a visit to our favorite summer road side fruit and veggie stand and learned how to pick the perfect tomato. (You can check that story out here in case you missed it)
Bruschetta is a summer staple at my house and it’s my favorite appetizer to throw together in a pinch.
Here’s what you need:
1 French Baguette
1-2 large beefsteak tomatoes - diced
2 Roma tomatoes - diced
a handful of cherry/grape tomatoes - diced
5-6 large fresh leaves of basil
2 cloves of fresh garlic - pressed
4 tbsp extra virgin olive oil - divided
salt and pepper
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
Slice your French baguette on a diagonal and line the slices on a baking sheet.
Use 2 tbsp of the olive oil to brush both sides of the baguette slices.
Bake the crostini for about 10-15 minutes or until golden brown
While the crostini are baking, mix together the remaining ingredients in a bowl.
When the crostini are done, remove from the oven, top with the bruschetta and enjoy!
