Perfect Bruschetta

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350 degrees

Step 2

Quarter your tomatoes, and pull out all the seeds and “pulp” out of the middle with your fingers and discard so you are just left with the meat of the tomato

Step 3

Chop the tomatoes up into small, bite size pieces

Step 4

Transfer your tomatoes into a medium bowl and add in your garlic, basil, balsamic vinegar, and salt and pepper to taste

Step 5

Store in the fridge until the bread is ready

Step 6

Slice your loaf of wheat french bread into about 1 1/2 inch slices (ish)

Step 7

Spread softened butter onto both sides, place the bread on a baking sheet, and place in your preheated oven for 10 minutes

Step 8

Remove the bread from the oven, flip all of the slices over, and bake for another 5 minutes, or until golden brown on both sides

Step 9

Slice the tip off of one garlic clove so you have a flat surface

Step 10

Rub the garlic clove across the top of each toasted bread slice

Step 11

Spoon the tomato mixture onto the bread, top with a little more basil, and serve!
