Ingredients

Original recipe (1X) yields 12 servings

  • 8 Roma (plum) tomatoes, seeded and chopped

  • 5 leaves chopped fresh basil

  • 2 cloves garlic, minced

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil

  • 1 pinch dried oregano

  • 1 pinch red pepper flakes

  • 1 pinch salt

  • 1 pinch ground black pepper

  • 1 (1 pound) loaf French or Italian-style bread

Directions

  1. Set an oven rack about 6 inches from the heat source and preheat the oven's broiler.

  2. Combine tomatoes, basil, garlic, olive oil, oregano, pepper flakes, salt, and black pepper in a mixing bowl. Add more olive oil to coat entire mixture, if necessary. Set salsa aside for 10 minutes.

  3. Slice bread into 1/2-inch-thick slices; arrange on a baking sheet in a single layer.

  4. Broil in the preheated broiler until lightly browned, about 1 minute per side. Remove from broiler.

  5. Spread tomato salsa on toasted bread slices; return to the oven. Broil until salsa is hot but not cooked, 2 to 3 minutes.
