Toasted sourdough slices topped with mashed roasted garlic, fresh tomatoes, basil, and a drizzle of garlic oil

Roasted Garlic and Tomato Bruschetta

No ratings yet
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! Whether you’re entertaining or just craving a snack with big flavor, this one's sure to be a hit!

Ingredients
  

Tomato Topping

  • 2-3 medium ripe tomatoes , seeded and diced
  • 1-2 tbsp tbsp garlic oil from roasted garlic confit (recipe here)
  • Fresh basil , thinly sliced
  • Salt and pepper to taste

For the Toast

  • 1/2 cup roasted garlic confit cloves roughly mashed (recipe here)
  • 4 slices sourdough or bread of choice
  • 2-3 tbsp garlic oil (from roasted garlic confit), for toasting

Instructions
 

Make the Tomato Topping

  • In a small bowl, mix together:
  • Diced tomatoes
  • Chopped basil
  • Garlic oil
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Let the mixture sit for 5–10 minutes while you toast the bread.
  • Do note that this recipe is just a rough guide! You're free to add more or less of everything and adjust as desired. :)

Toast the Bread in a Skillet

  • Heat a skillet over medium heat.
  • Add a light drizzle of garlic oil and place a few slices of bread at a time.
  • Toast for 1–2 minutes per side, or until golden brown and crisp with lightly charred edges. Add more oil as needed for each batch.
  • Transfer to a plate once crisp and golden.

Assemble the Bruschetta

  • While the toast is still warm, spread a generous layer of mashed roasted garlic confit on each slice.
  • Spoon over the tomato-basil topping.
  • Finish with an extra drizzle of garlic oil and a sprinkle of flaky salt or chopped basil, if you like!
