Tomato Bruschetta With Garlic and Basil

I have been making this tomato bruschetta for years, and it has always been a crowd favorite. Holidays, parties or even for a quick appetizer before dinner at home – there is NEVER any left, and there are never any regrets.

Tomato bruschetta is extremely refreshing and simple to make. If you're anything like me, you likely have the majority of the ingredients in your kitchen already, with the exception of maybe the baguette. You also probably have the tools needed to make this ultra-simple recipe.

For such a simple recipe, this appetizer is jam-packed with flavor, largely due to the garlic. I am never conservative when I use garlic. If a recipe calls for two cloves, you better believe I am using at least five! I chop up then sauté the garlic until fragrant and golden before mixing it with the rest of ingredients. This brings out so much more flavor than you'd get if you just stirred in raw garlic.
