Classic Italian Bruschetta
2 to 3 medium ripe tomatoes, coarsely chopped
4 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, divided
4 slices bread, any other rustic loaf
2 cloves garlic, halved
Flaky sea salt, for garnish
Coarsely chopped fresh basil leaves, for garnish
Combine the chopped tomatoes and half of the olive oil in a bowl and toss. Marinate the tomatoes for about 10 minutes at room temperature.
Toast the bread slices on a charcoal grill, in the oven, or in a toaster until golden-brown.
