While bruschetta used to be a poor man's food, today it's a classic at every BBQ. It also makes great finger food for any occasion: it'S foolproof, quick & easy to make and happens to be vegan by mistake.
Cut tomatoes into halves, remove stem and watery seeds. Cut tomatoes and onion into small cubes and combine in a bowl. Peel and mince or press 1 clove of garlic and add to the bowl.
Cut ciabatta in about 1/2 inch thick slices and sprinkle with some olive oil. Place slices on an oven rack and bake at 400° F for 5-8 minutes or until they're crispy and golden.
Take out of the oven and rub with remaining garlic (optional).
Mince basil, add to the bowl with tomatoes and onion and mix well. Season with salt & pepper.
Spoon about 1 tbsp of the mixture on top of each ciabatta slice and serve immediately.
