Bruschetta Florentine Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
• Combine tomato, basil, and red onion in a small mixing bowl; stir well. Season with freshly ground black pepper. Set aside.
• Arrange bread on a baking sheet. Place in oven, and bake until well toasted, approximately 5 minutes.
• Remove bread from oven, and transfer to a large serving platter. Let bread cool 3 to 5 minutes. Rub garlic into the top of each slice of toast; the toast should glisten with the garlic. Spoon the tomato mixture generously onto each slice, and serve.

Steps:

• Add the tomatoes, basil, garlic, olive oil and some salt and pepper to a bowl. Toss and let marinate for 5 minutes.
• Toast the baguette slices in a hot pan with grapeseed oil. Remove to a plate and season with salt and pepper.
