Blues bread bruschetta with tomato and herb
Thick slices of seeded whole wheat bread toasted until crisp, rubbed with garlic and topped with fresh tomato, basil, and a drizzle of good oil. This is how to turn one artisan loaf into a proper dinner for two, especially when you have good tomatoes.

To buy
- 1 lb (about 2 large) ripe tomatoes
- 1 small bunch fresh basil
From your shelf
- 1 loaf (about 10 oz) organic blues bread with blue cornmeal crust
Staples
- 2 cloves garlic
- 3 tablespoons oil
- to taste salt
- to taste pepper
- Heat your broiler or set a large skillet over medium-high heat. Slice 8 thick pieces from the loaf, about three-quarter inch each, and arrange on a baking sheet or place in the skillet. Toast until the cut sides are golden and crisp, 2 to 3 minutes per side; while they toast, mince 2 garlic cloves.
- Rub the warm toasted bread with the minced garlic on both sides. Drizzle with 3 tablespoons oil and season lightly with salt and pepper.
- Dice 1 lb ripe tomatoes into small pieces and place in a bowl. Tear 8 to 10 basil leaves, add to the tomatoes, season with salt and pepper, and toss gently.
- Divide the toasted bread between two plates and top each piece with the tomato mixture, spooning any juices over the top.
Note Swap fresh basil for oregano if you have it. Leftovers keep covered in the refrigerator for one day, though the bread softens. Serve with a green salad or alongside white beans dressed simply with oil and salt to make it more filling.
