- 4 ripe tomatoes, seeded and finely diced
- ¼ red onion, finely diced

- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 1 loaf garlic bread
- Optional extras
- Balsamic glaze or balsamic vinegar
- Crumbled fetta cheese
Instructions
- Cook garlic bread according to packet instructions until golden and crisp. Allow to cool slightly before slicing.
- Combine tomatoes, red onion, basil and garlic in a bowl. Drizzle with olive oil, season with salt and pepper and gently mix.
- Arrange garlic bread slices on a serving platter and spoon tomato mixture evenly over each piece.
- Drizzle with balsamic glaze or sprinkle with fetta if using. Serve immediately while the bread is still warm.
Notes
TOP TIPS:
- Use ripe tomatoes: Vine-ripened or truss tomatoes give the best flavour and less watery topping.
- Seed the tomatoes: Removing the seeds helps prevent soggy bruschetta.
- Don’t overload: Spoon the topping on just before serving so the garlic bread stays crisp.
- Serve warm: Slightly warm garlic bread creates the perfect contrast with the fresh tomato topping.
- No garlic bread? Use baguette or sourdough - spread with garlic butter or garlic dip, then bake until golden.
- Finish strong: A drizzle of balsamic glaze or a sprinkle of feta adds an extra layer of flavour.
