Classic Bruschetta Recipe: A Simple and Delicious Appetizer

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

Slice the bread into slices that are about ½ to 1 inch thick.

Arrange the bread slices on a baking sheet and drizzle them with olive oil.

Toast the bread in the preheated oven for about 5-7 minutes, or until it turns golden and crispy.

Dice the tomatoes into small pieces and place them in a bowl.

Finely chop the garlic cloves and basil leaves, then add them to the bowl with the tomatoes.

Drizzle the tomato mixture with olive oil and balsamic vinegar.Season the mixture with salt and pepper according to your taste.

Once the bread is toasted, remove it from the oven and let it cool slightly. Spoon the tomato mixture generously over each slice of toasted bread.

Arrange the bruschetta on a serving platter and serve immediately, while the bread is still warm and crispy.
