Juicy, fresh summer tomatoes are the highlight of this simple bruschetta recipe. You can pull it together just before ready to serve, or prepare the tomato mixture a few hours beforehand to let the garlic infuse the tomato juices.

Directions

  1. Step 1

    In a small skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the garlic and sauté for 1 minute, or until fragrant.

  2. Step 2

    Transfer the sauteed garlic to a large bowl. Add the red and yellow tomatoes, red onion, balsamic vinegar, basil, salt and black pepper to taste and stir to combine. Cover and chill for about 1 hour.

  3. Step 3

    Preheat the oven to 400°. Arrange the bread slices on a baking sheet. Brush the bread slices with the remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil. Bake the bread slices until toasted, about 10 minutes.

  4. Step 4

    Stir the tomato mixture and spoon over the toasted bread slices. Top with additional basil, if desired.
