How To Make tomato bruschetta

  • Step 1
    In a medium bowl mix the tomatoes, garlic, basil leaves, lemon juice, olive oil, salt and pepper and set aside.
  • Step 2
    Slice your bread into 1 inch slices. If you have a large loaf of bread you might want to slice the pieces in half again.
  • Step 3
    Brush one side of each slice of bread with extra virgin olive oil. Put the slices oiled side down on a cookie sheet and toast them until golden.
  • Step 4
    You can make the bread ahead of time and store it in an airtight container. Cool the bread completely before you store it.
  • Step 5
    You can let everyone top their toast with the tomato mixture. Don't top the toast too soon before eating, it will get soggy.
  • Step 6
    Enjoy!
