Bruschetta has roots in central Italy dating back centuries, originally a simple way for farmers to use day-old bread and ripe garden tomatoes.
Toasted Italian bread rubbed with garlic and topped with fresh tomatoes, basil and olive oil — a simple, vibrant starter that celebrates ripe summer produce.
Toast or grill the bread slices until golden and lightly crisp.
Rub each slice with a cut garlic clove while still warm.
Mix diced tomato, basil, olive oil and balsamic vinegar together.
Spoon the tomato mixture generously over the toasted bread and serve immediately.
Assemble bruschetta just before serving — the toast will turn soggy if it sits too long under the tomato topping.
