Real Tomato and Basil Bruschetta, made the proper Italian way. So simple! The key is to use good crusty bread, like ciabatta or sourdough, and ripe, juicy tomatoes.
View original recipe on recipetineats.comPreheat grill/broiler on high (or grill side of BBQ or griddle skillet).
Deseed (optional, note 2) - Cut tomatoes in half. Use a measuring teaspoon to scoop out watery seeds (reserve for other use, see post for suggestions) then dice into 1cm / 2/5" pieces.
Toss - Place tomato and remaining Topping ingredients in a bowl and gently toss to combine. Set aside for 5 to 10 minutes for the flavours to meld and the tomatoes to become juicy and soften slightly.
Brush each side of bread with oil then grill/broil until golden and crusty - about 3 minutes on each side. (Or just use your toaster then brush with oil)
Rub one side of the surface of the bread lightly with the garlic.
Pile topping onto bread with some of the juices. Drizzle with more extra virgin olive oil and serve immediately.
