Step-by-Step Instructions for Bruschetta with Heirloom Tomatoes
  1. Wash and dice the heirloom tomatoes into small cubes. Chop the fresh basil leaves finely and combine them with the tomatoes in a mixing bowl. Drizzle with olive oil and season with salt and pepper to taste. If desired, add balsamic vinegar. Set aside.
  2. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Slice the baguette into 1/2-inch thick slices. Brush both sides lightly with olive oil and toast them in the oven for about 5-7 minutes until golden and crispy.
  3. Remove the toasted bread from the oven and let it cool slightly. Generously scoop the heirloom tomato mixture onto each slice.
  4. Serve immediately on a platter. Best enjoyed fresh.
