Bruschetta is actually the type of bread, not the topping. Happily, this bruschetta is the base for a traditional tomato-based topping.

How To Make brushcetta with balsamic tomato topping

  • 1
    In a medium bowl, combine the tomatoes, onion, garlic, basil, parsley, 1 Tbs. olive oil and salt and pepper. Toss to combine and let rest for up to one hour so flavors can blend.
  • 2
    Bring balsamic vinegar (and sugar if using) to a boil in a small saucepan. Reduce heat and simmer until reduced by half - about 5 minutes. Remove from heat.
  • 3
    Preheat your oven to 350 degrees. In a small bowl, combine the remaining olive oil and garlic powder. Brush the top side of each baguette slice with the olive oil mixture. Place slices onto a lined baking tray and bake for about 10 minutes, until light golden brown.
  • 4
    Top each slice of toasted bread with a spoonful of the tomato mixture. Drizzle the balsamic glaze onto each bruschetta and serve.
