This Roasted Garlic and Tomato Bruschetta is simple, fragrant, and absolutely packed with flavor. I used roasted garlic confit and the leftover garlic-infused oil from my previous garlic confit recipe to create these golden, toasty bites layered with juicy tomatoes, basil, and a rich mash of garlic.

The bread is pan-toasted in garlic oil until crisp and just lightly charred at the edges. It’s the perfect base for the buttery, melt-in-your-mouth roasted garlic and fresh tomato & basil topping. This comes together fast and tastes like summer on a slice!
