Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) or heat a grill.
Slice the baguette or ciabatta loaf into 1/2-inch slices.
Arrange the slices on a baking sheet or grill.
Toast or grill the bread slices until they are golden and crispy, about 3-5 minutes per side. Keep an eye on them to avoid burning.
Rub with Garlic:
Once the bread is toasted, lightly rub one side of each slice with the remaining garlic clove. This imparts a subtle garlic flavor.
Assemble the Bruschetta:
Spoon the tomato mixture generously onto the toasted side of each bread slice.
Drizzle a little extra-virgin olive oil over the top if desired.
Serve:
Arrange the bruschetta on a serving platter and serve immediately.
Enjoy this classic and simple bruschetta that captures the true flavors of Italy!
