Ingredients

  • 1 loaf French baguette
  • 1/4 cup olive oil (more or less)
  • 1 pinch kosher salt
  • 3 roma tomatoes
  • 6 fresh basil leaves, finely chopped
  • 1/4 cup shredded parmesan cheese (optional)

Method

  • Slice baguette into 1/2" slices on an angle.
  • Pour olive oil into a shallow bowl, like a small cereal bowl.
  • Dip each slice into the olive oil and place on a cookie sheet.
  • Holding your hand very high, dust a tiny amount of kosher salt over the bruschetta. (Better to skip this step then to do too much. I would skip this step also if you only have regular table salt.).
  • Cut the roma tomatoes in quarters and remove all of the seeds. Then dice them into 1/4" pieces.
  • Sprinkle the diced tomato on the bruschetta. There should be no more than 4-5 pieces of tomato on each.
  • Put no more than 2-3 pieces of basil on each bruschetta.
  • Dust each piece with shredded parmesan cheese if desired.
  • Broil for just a minute or two, watching carefully. They can go from just right to burnt in a flash!
