  1. Toast the bread slices until golden and crisp.

  2. Cut the garlic clove in half and rub the cut side over the warm toast.

  3. Place the diced tomatoes in a bowl. Add olive oil, basil, salt, and pepper. Mix gently.

  4. Spoon the tomato mixture over the toasted bread.

  5. Top with fresh basil and serve immediately. ENJOY!

  6. An optional mozzarella version uses a second, short oven step to melt the cheese on the toast only(after rubbing them with garlic)

Cook’s note

Use ripe but firm tomatoes for best texture. Bruschetta is best served right after assembling. The tomato topping can be prepared a few minutes ahead. Mozzarella can be added to the sandwiches for a richer version.
