Ingredients

2 medium ripe tomatoes, diced

1 medium ripe peach, diced (preferably yellow or white)

1/4 cup red onion, finely chopped

1/4 cup fresh basil leaves, sliced thinly

1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar

1 tablespoon olive oil

Salt and pepper to taste

1 baguette or ciabatta loaf, sliced into 1/2-inch thick slices

Optional: 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder or 1 clove garlic, halved (for rubbing)

Instructions

Prep the Topping: In a mixing bowl, combine the diced tomatoes, diced peach, chopped red onion, and sliced basil. Drizzle with balsamic vinegar and olive oil. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Gently stir to combine all ingredients. Allow the mixture to sit for about 10-15 minutes to enhance the flavors while you prepare the bread.

Toast the Bread: Preheat your oven broiler. Arrange the sliced baguette or ciabatta on a baking sheet. Brush lightly with olive oil on both sides. Toast in the broiler for about 2-3 minutes on each side or until golden brown and crispy. Keep an eye on them to prevent burning.

Optional Garlic Infusion: If using fresh garlic, take the halved clove and gently rub the cut side over the toasted bread for a subtle garlic flavor. If using garlic powder, sprinkle a little on the toasted bread before adding the topping.

Assembly: Once the bread is toasted to your liking, remove it from the oven and allow it to cool slightly. Spoon the tomato and peach mixture generously over each slice.

Serve: Arrange the bruschetta on a serving platter. Optionally, drizzle with a bit more balsamic vinegar or a sprinkle of fresh basil for garnish. Serve immediately and enjoy the burst of flavors!
