Instructions
Prepare the Tomato Topping
Dice the Roma tomatoes into small pieces and place them in a bowl. Add the chiffonade basil, one minced garlic clove, olive oil, balsamic vinegar, and salt. Toss gently and let marinate for ten minutes.
Toast the Bread
Preheat your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit or a grill pan over medium-high heat. Arrange baguette slices in a single layer and toast for four to five minutes per side until golden and crispy.
Rub with Garlic
While the toast is still hot, cut a raw garlic clove in half and rub the cut side directly over the surface of each toasted slice. This infuses a wonderful subtle garlic flavor into the bread.
Top the Bruschetta
Spoon a generous amount of the marinated tomato mixture onto each garlic-rubbed toast slice. Ensure each piece gets a good amount of both tomatoes and their flavorful juices.
Serve Immediately
Arrange the bruschetta on a serving platter and serve right away while the bread is still crispy. Garnish with extra fresh basil leaves and a drizzle of balsamic glaze if desired.
