Method

  1. Preheat the oven to 375°F (375°F).

  2. In a small saucepan, gently heat the olive oil over low heat.

  3. Add the minced garlic and cook for 5–7 minutes, stirring frequently, until the garlic is soft and fragrant but not browned.

    Kitchen notes · Added by ReelsMeals: Garlic is soft and fragrant without browning. Stir regularly to keep it from taking on colour.

  4. Remove the garlic confit from the heat and let it cool slightly.

  5. Spread the garlic confit evenly over the sliced bread.

  6. Top each slice with diced tomatoes and chopped basil.

    Kitchen notes · Added by ReelsMeals: Tomatoes and basil are distributed over the bread. Chop the toppings finely enough to sit on the slices.

  7. Season with salt and black pepper to taste.

  8. Place the prepared bruschetta on a baking sheet and bake for 8–10 minutes, or until the bread is toasted and the toppings are warmed through.

    Kitchen notes · Added by ReelsMeals: Bread is toasted and toppings are warmed through. Arrange the slices in a single layer on the tray.

  9. Serve immediately, optionally drizzling a little extra olive oil over the top.
