Fresh Bruschetta

Sharing a quick + easy appetizer for your next dinner party. A garlicky-crowd favorite 🙂

The Perks: You hardly need any pantry items.

The Cons: You might eat your weight in bruschetta and ruin your appetite for dinner.

What you need:

  • 1 pint grape tomatoes (or 1 - 2 large tomatoes)

  • 1/4 medium onion, chopped (I used a white onion)

  • Small bunch of fresh basil

  • 1 clove garlic

  • 1 loaf French or Italian bread

Throw it all together but first preheat your oven to 350° F.

01 Chop the tomatoes into quarters or smaller. I prefer a bit of texture but you can certainly slice up the tomatoes to your desired size and thickness. Toss into a medium-sized bowl. Chop the onion, garlic and basil, add to the tomato bowl.

02 Grab your loaf of bread and slice into small bite-sized pieces. Drizzle (or spray) olive oil over the tops and then turn over and drizzle more. Sprinkle with salt, pepper and garlic powder. Toss in the oven for 5ish minutes- or until just golden. The goal is to have them toasty on the top but still a bit soft on the bottom.

03 Spoon generous amounts of bruschetta onto toast. ENJOY.
