Many Italian restaurants include bruschetta on their appetizer menus, 'cause it's fresh, tasty, and a great way to start a meal. Our recipe for Bistro Bruschetta is just as good as any restaurant-kind and looks pretty too!

What You'll Need

1/4 cup olive oil, divided
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 loaf (16 ounces) French bread, cut into 1-inch slices
8 plum tomatoes, seeded and chopped
1/4 cup chopped fresh basil
1/2 cup finely chopped red onion
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper

What to Do

Preheat the oven to 400 degree F.
In a medium bowl, combine the oil and garlic powder; mix well and set aside 2 tablespoons of the mixture.
Brush the tops of the bread slices with the remaining oil mixture and place on a baking sheet. Bake for 8 to 10 minutes, or until golden.
Meanwhile, in the same large bowl, combine the remaining ingredients with the reserved oil mixture. Spoon the tomato-onion mixture over the toasted bread slices and serve.
