Today, we have a simple recipe to make bruschetta on the grill. If you’ve never had it before, you’ve got to try it. It has so much flavor for such a simple recipe. Most people probably don’t think of using the grill when making bruschetta, but here we are all about grilling. So, if you have the grill fired up anyway, you might as well make some of this as well, because it makes a great appetizer, or accompaniment to other grilled foods.
Simple Grilled Bruschetta Recipe
Here is the ingredients you will need:
1 Baguette, cut diagonally into 1″ slices
2 Roma Tomatoes, chopped or sliced
2 Cloves of Garlic, finely chopped
2 tsp Dried Basil
1/2 Cup Olive Oil
Set up your gas or charcoal grill for direct grilling over medium heat.
While your grill is heating up, get yourself a small mixing bowl, if you don’t already have a good set of mixing bowls, I recommend these. A good set of mixing bowls always comes in handy. In the small mixing bowl, combine the olive oil, basil, and garlic. Mix well.
Take your already sliced Baguette, and brush both sides of the slices with the oil mixture. I like using silicone brushes for basting and brushing. Once the grill has heated up place those bread slices on the grill directly over the heat source.
Grill the bread uncovered for approximately 4 to 6 minutes turning once half way through. I find that a pair of long tongs comes in pretty handy for turning them. The bread should be golden brown when done. Once done take them off the grill and top with the Roma tomatoes. Like I mentioned in the ingredients list, you can either slice or chop the tomatoes. I like them chopped, but if you prefer sliced tomatoes go ahead and use that. Serve immediately
