Okay, this tomato bruschetta might be my favorite thing EVER. When I was first learning about cooking and expanding my skills, this recipe was one of the first ones I learned and conquered.
Ripe tomatoes, garlic cloves, extra-virgin olive oil, fresh basil, bread/baguette of your choice, kosher salt and black pepper, lemon juice or balsamic vinegar
Begin by coring and chopping your tomatoes and add in a bowl.
Add in your olive oil, salt, pepper and finely minced garlic cloves. Lastly, add in your sliced basil and dash of lemon juice if you'd like but that is optional. Toss and marinade.
Slice and toast your bread. Once toasted, and tomatoes are ready to serve, take you second garlic clove and rub your garlic over the toast, top with your bruschetta!
