Ingredients
Scale
1 loaf of crusty bread (like French or Italian)
3 large ripe tomatoes, diced
2 cups fresh basil leaves, roughly chopped
4 cloves garlic, minced
1/4 cup olive oil
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese (optional)
Substitutions: Use cherry tomatoes for a sweeter flavor; swap basil for parsley for a different twist; garlic powder can replace fresh garlic in a pinch.
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the diced tomatoes, chopped basil, minced garlic, olive oil, salt, and pepper. Toss the mixture gently to combine, allowing the flavors to meld together.
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). This high temperature will ensure a perfectly toasted crust.
Cut the loaf of bread in half lengthwise. If you prefer smaller pieces, slice it into individual portions while keeping the halves intact for easy spreading.
Generously spoon the tomato-basil mixture onto each half of the bread. Don’t shy away; let the toppings spill over, creating a colorful and inviting appearance.
If you’re using Parmesan, sprinkle it evenly over the top of the tomato mixture for an extra layer of flavor and a delightful crust.
Place the bread on a baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for about 15-20 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and crispy.
Once your Tomato Basil Garlic Bread is done, allow it to cool slightly before slicing. This way, the toppings will stay put when you serve it!
