Rustic Herb & Tomato Bruschetta
Serves 6–8 as an appetizer | Ready in about 20 minutes

Ingredients

• 1 loaf artisan bread (we love Great Harvest Bread!)
• 4–5 ripe tomatoes, diced
• 2 garlic cloves, finely chopped
• About ¼ cup fresh basil leaves, torn
• 2–3 tbsp extra virgin olive oil, plus more for brushing the bread
• Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 400°F.
2. Slice the bread about ½ inch thick and arrange the slices on a baking sheet. Lightly brush them with olive oil.
3. Toast for 5–7 minutes, until golden and crisp.
4. While the bread toasts, combine the tomatoes, garlic, basil, olive oil, salt, and pepper in a bowl. Let the mixture sit for about 10 minutes so the flavors blend, then drain off any extra liquid.
5. Spoon the tomato mixture generously onto each toast slice.
6. Serve right away and enjoy!
