Light, fresh, and bursting with flavor, Bruschetta al Pomodoro is the perfect appetizer to brighten your dinner table tonight!

1

Start by preheating your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit (200 degrees Celsius). This will be perfect for toasting your bread.

2

While the oven is heating, chop the tomatoes into small dice and place them in a bowl.

3

Next, finely chop the basil and add it to the bowl with tomatoes.

4

Mince the garlic cloves and add them to the same bowl.

5

Drizzle the olive oil over the tomato mixture, followed by the balsamic vinegar, and season with salt and pepper. Carefully mix everything together until well combined.

6

Slice the bread into thick slices, about 1 inch (2.5 cm) thick. Place the sliced bread on a baking sheet.

7

Toast the slices in the preheated oven for about 5 to 7 minutes, until they are golden and crispy.

8

Once toasted, remove the bread from the oven and let it cool slightly. Then, spoon the tomato mixture generously onto each slice of toasted bread.

9

Serve immediately while everything is fresh and delicious. Enjoy!
