Baked Tomato and Egg Bruschetta

Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Baked Tomato and Egg Bruschetta.

1. Step 1

   Start by preheating your oven to a cozy 400°F (200°C).

2. Step 2

   While the oven warms up, take some slices of Italian bread and arrange them neatly on a baking sheet.

3. Step 3

   Drizzle 2 tablespoons of olive oil over the bread, then sprinkle a pinch of salt and pepper to enhance the flavor.

4. Step 4

   Pop the baking sheet into the oven and let the bread toast until it’s beautifully crisp, which should take about 15 minutes.

5. Step 5

   Once it’s done, carefully remove it from the oven but keep that warmth going.

6. Step 6

   Next, grab an oven-safe skillet and heat the remaining tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat.

7. Step 7

   Add in the minced garlic and sauté it until it fills your kitchen with a delightful aroma, which should take around 3 to 4 minutes.

8. Step 8

   Now, stir in the diced tomatoes, seasoning them with a little more salt and pepper.

9. Step 9

   Allow this mixture to simmer, stirring occasionally, until it transforms into a rich, flavorful sauce—this should take about 10 minutes.

10. Step 10

    Once your tomato sauce is ready, use a wooden spoon to create six little wells in the mixture.

11. Step 11

    Crack an egg into each well, and for an extra touch of flavor, sprinkle grated Parmesan cheese and slivered basil leaves on top.

12. Step 12

    Now it’s time to return the skillet to the oven.

13. Step 13

    Bake until the egg whites are set but the yolks are still delightfully runny, which should take about 6 minutes.

14. Step 14

    When everything is ready, it’s time to serve! Scoop a perfectly cooked egg along with some of that luscious tomato mixture onto each slice of your toasted bread.

15. Step 15

    Enjoy this delicious dish that’s not only satisfying but also brings a touch of warmth to your table!.
