Holly B’s Bruschetta

You can really use any type of bread to make these tasty treats. Cutting slices from a large round loaf gives more of a wow factor.
Prep: 10 minutes | Cook: 20 minutes | Total Time: 30 minutes
-
6
1/2 inch thick slices from a large round loaf of bread
-
6
Roma tomatoes
-
3 cloves
garlic
-
6 tablespoons
extra virgin olive oil
-
6 large
fresh basil leaves
-
salt, to taste
- Preheat the oven to 375°F with the rack in the middle. Arrange the bread on a cookie sheet.
- Press the garlic into a small bowl containing 3 tablespoons of the olive oil. Stir the garlic into the oil and smear the mixture evenly onto the top sides of the bread slices with your fingertips.
- Toast the garlic bread until crisp and golden brown, about 20 minutes, turning the pan halfway through the baking. Remove from the oven and cool.
- Pare the ends of the tomatoes and cut into 1/4-inch slices. Place them in a medium bowl and drizzle with the remaining 3 tablespoons of olive oil. Sprinkle with salt. Medium chop the basil and throw into the bowl with the tomatoes. Toss everything around until it’s all oil-coated.
- Arrange the tomato slices artfully atop the bread slices. Scrape the bowl with a spatula and make sure any remaining juice makes it onto the
bruschetta. Serve with wine, some good cheese, or just solo – any time of day.
