While on vacation, my husband and I enjoyed this delicious French toast at a bed and breakfast. I kept missing it when we got home, so I called them and asked for it. The recipe was actually given to me over the phone! For my husband and I, I usually cut the recipe in half and bake it in an 8-inch square pan. In the toaster oven, it reheats nicely. They enjoyed it when I recently served it to my in-laws. Serve with some berries and some lightly sweetened whipped cream!

Ingredients
- 1 French baguette, cut into 1/2 inch thick circles
- 8 plum tomatoes, diced
- 1 cup chopped fresh basil
- ½ red onion, minced
- freshly ground black pepper
- 3 cloves garlic
Instructions
- 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.

It tasted great
Amazing, thank you, i had no idea how good this was going to be, until i made it.
Yummy! Eliminated the onion, not a fan of raw onion. But fresh tomatoes, makes all the difference. This will be my go to Bruschetta recipe!
This is perfect. The only change I made was to add the garlic to the bruschetta mixture.
Delicious recipe!! I had extra of the tomato/onion/basil mixture, and the next day tossed it into some lemon couscous and spooned a bit as garnish over mahi mahi. TO DIE FOR.
Simple and incredibly tasty! I made this for my boyfriend (who has never has bruschetta before) who absolutely loved it and said he wants me to make him this every day for the rest of his life. Ha.
Made this recipe for my mom on Mother’s day. I skipped the onion and added shredded mozzarella. I also baked it for an additional 2-3 minutes to let the cheese melt a little. We both loved it, I’ll be making these again soon.
This was good, but I left out the onion, I didn’t want to over power the delicate tomato taste. I used super ripe heirloom tomatoes instead of plum tomatoes. I topped the bread with homemade pesto and then the tomato mixture. It was a great starter.
Made this recipe with my family’s fresh grown tomatoes…… was TO DIE FOR. I would definitely make it again.
Amazing! It was instantly a family favorite!I used dried basil and added a bit of spinach.
Delicious! Using fresh ingredients is really the key here, if not, the result is so much different! I made this one night for just me and husband and it was a delicious, easy snack.
I added Extra Virgin Olive oil, splash of basalmic and garlic salt.
my husband is of Italian parents and he has fallen in love with this recipe. It is now a week-end staple to munch on. Thanks cipolla24
I made this with fresh basil from my herb garden, and it is to die for. Followed the recipe other than adding 1/4 cup of olive oil and an 1/8 cup walnut pieces. Also minced the garlic and added it to the pesto and topped with shredded Parmesan cheese. I only got 8 servings, but I spread the pesto on pretty thick. Fresh basil is a MUST for this recipe. Five stars and highly recommended!
Loved this! Absolutely delicious & easy too.
This was a great recipe for my first shot at Bruschetta. I added a few of my own touches, a little mozzerella and some chicken. But thanks so much for the recipe!
Went easy on onion; also tried no onion. Both fantastic. Brushed olive oil on my bread and sprinkled finished product w/ coarse salt. Ate leftovers for breakfast.
I thought this was good, not the best I have had, though. The onion is too overpowering; mine actually ended up spicy. Rubbing the garlic on the bread is a little time consuming and it also makes it very powerful. Save some time and put just a little into the tomato mixture. I agree with the others, add some cheese and, I used fresh basil like it called for but I think dried basil would have been fine. All in all, worked out all right for the party.
Yes, this is a nice recipe, just add a little fetta and it will taste just like my best mates recipe and she is an awesome cook!!
Very good. Served the bread and tomato mixture separately, tho, to avoid sogginess.
Everyone wanted the recipe, so simple and quick to make. Added one thing and that is i drizzled olive oil on the bread and then topped with tomato mixture. Huge success! Thanks
