Tomato Fennel Bruschetta
Ingredients
  • 6 large tomatoes, diced
  • 1/2 large sweet Bermuda onion, diced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 1/2 tablespoons fennel seed
  • 1/3 cup minced fresh basil
  • 1/3 cup extra-virgin olive oil
  • salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 (20 ounce) loaf French bread, sliced 1/2-inch thick
  • 1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil, for brushing
Instructions
1
Combine the tomatoes, onion, garlic, fennel seed, and basil in a bowl. Add 1/3 cup of olive oil, salt, and pepper to the mixture and stir until well combined. Allow the flavors to meld together in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour.
2
Next, preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. This temperature will help bring out the best in your dish.
3
Now, take some of the remaining 1/4 cup of olive oil and brush it onto both sides of your bread slices. Place the slices on a baking sheet, making sure they have enough space to toast evenly.
4
Place the baking sheet in the oven and bake for 3 minutes on each side, or until your bread is golden brown and crispy. This will give it a delightful crunch on the outside.

Finally, to serve your dish, spoon the tomato mixture onto the toasted bread slices and arrange them artfully on a serving platter.
