Best Bruschetta

6 ingredients
9 steps

Ingredients

  • 23 cup olive oil (I use extra virgin)
  • 4 garlic cloves, crushed (I use medium to large or 6 small)
  • 2 lbs tomatoes, diced small (fresh from the garden is best, I use cherry and or or grape and or or roma or any combination from t)
  • 1 baguette
  • 20 leaves basil, fresh (rolled and sliced thin... 1/16-inch strips)
  • feta cheese (I actually don't like feta, but it's part of the original recipe)

Directions

  1. 1
    Combine crushed garlic and olive oil, let sit for 30 minutes.
  2. 2
    Pour garlic and olive oil over diced tomatoes, and bake at 350 for 10 minutes.
  3. 3
    I don't drain the tomatoes, I put them in with all their juices, which can make the bread get a little juicy in the middle.
  4. 4
    I love it that way, but if you don't, drain some of the juices before adding garlic and olive oil.
  5. 5
    Broil bread to get it a little crispy and lightly browned (I have a large toaster oven and I use that).
  6. 6
    Spread tomato/oil/garlic mixture liberally on each piece of bread.
  7. 7
    Top with fresh basil.
  8. 8
    Add feta if you like.
  9. 9
    Watch it disappear before your eyes.
