A classic Italian bruschetta is one of the most typical Italian starters. It is one of those that cannot miss on a table when having a Sunday lunch, above all in the South of Italy,
Cut the cherry tomatoes into 6-8 pieces and place them in a bowl. Add a pinch of salt, oregano, and shredded basil leaves. Drizzle some olive oil in the mix. Let rest for half an hour.
Toast the slices of bread in the oven (grill mode 200°C) for 5-8 minutes, turning over the slices halfway. The slices need to be nice and toasted from the top but still soft from the middle, so regulate the cooking time accordingly.
When the slices are toasted, rub the garlic clove gently on each slice and drizzle some olive oil on the slices. (The garlic is optional.)
Add the tomato mix on each slice and garnish with additional basil leaves if you wish. Serve warm.
