Tomato bruschetta is a popular Italian appetiser. It is usually made with fresh tomatoes, garlic, olive oil, and basil and served on toasted bread. It’s a simple dish that is full of flavour. The key to making a good bruschetta is to use fresh and high-quality ingredients. This recipe is a great way to use up fresh tomatoes that are a good source of lycopene, a powerful antioxidant.

Ingredients:

-2 large tomatoes, diced
-1 garlic clove, minced
-1 tablespoon olive oil
-1/2 teaspoon salt
-1/4 teaspoon black pepper
-1/4 teaspoon sugar
-1 tablespoon chopped fresh basil
-2 slices of Italian bread, toasted

Directions:

1. Preheat the oven to 190 degrees C.

2. In a medium bowl, combine the tomatoes, garlic, olive oil, salt, pepper, sugar, and basil.

3. Spoon the mixture over the toast slices.

4. Bake for 10 minutes in the preheated oven or until the topping is bubbly.

Tomato bruschetta is a simple yet delicious dish perfect for a light meal or snack. It is also easy to customize to your liking with different toppings or slices of bread. You can make this dish extra special by adding some shredded mozzarella cheese to the topping. You can also use other herbs, such as thyme or oregano. And for a spicier bruschetta, add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the tomato mixture.

You can also try serving the tomato bruschetta with a side of salad or soup for a complete meal.

Tomatoes have currently priced themselves out of my budget, still, I might bookmark this for when I can again enjoy fresh food.
