Bruschetta al Limone (Italian)
Ingredients
- 1 French baguette (or italian bread; sliced)
- 2 tomatoes (ripe, diced)
- 2 tablespoons basil (chopped)
- 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
- 1 tablespoon Italian Volcano lemon juice
- 1 clove garlic (peeled)
- Salt and black pepper (to taste)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Place the bread slices on a baking sheet and toast them in the preheated oven for 5-7 minutes, or until golden brown and crisp. Alternatively, you can grill the bread slices until lightly charred.
In a mixing bowl, combine the diced tomatoes, chopped basil, extra virgin olive oil, Italian Volcano lemon juice, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to combine all the ingredients.
- Rub the toasted bread slices with the peeled garlic clove on one side. This will infuse the bread with a subtle garlic flavor.
- Spoon the tomato mixture generously onto each toasted bread slice.
