Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups plum tomatoes, diced
- 1/3 cup fresh basil leaves, finely chopped
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon fresh oregano, chopped
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 6 slices of crusty bread, toasted
Instructions
-
Prepare the Tomato Mixture: In a medium-sized bowl, combine the diced plum tomatoes, finely chopped fresh basil, minced garlic, and chopped fresh oregano. Drizzle with olive oil and fresh lemon juice. Gently mix all the ingredients together until well combined.
-
Season to Taste: Add salt and pepper to taste, ensuring that the flavors are well balanced. For the best results, let the mixture sit at room temperature for about 2 hours before serving. This allows the flavors to meld beautifully, enhancing the overall taste of the bruschetta.
-
Serve: Just before serving, spoon the flavorful tomato mixture generously onto the toasted slices of bread. Serve immediately to enjoy the contrast between the crispy toast and the juicy, herb-infused topping.
Tips
-
Advance Preparation: You can prepare the tomato mixture up to 2 hours ahead of time and store it at room temperature. This makes it a great make-ahead option for parties and gatherings.
-
Toast Variations: For added crunch and flavor, you can rub the toasted bread slices with a little garlic before adding the tomato mixture.
