Slice the tomatoes into 1 cm approx pieces (not uniformed) and fine dice the red onion

Chop 1 clove of garlic, sprinkle with flaky salt and crush with the flat edge of a large knife (or use a garlic crusher) then slice or tare the basil leaves

Season the tomatoes with olive oil salt and pepper and toss, leave this mixture to mature for 10 - 20 minutes in the fridge

Slice the ciabatta to around 1 inch thickness and rub both sides with a half a clove of garlic

Drizzle both sides of the bread with olive oil and season with salt and pepper, place croutons in a hot griddle pan. If you don't have a griddle pan you can toast the bread in a very hot oven for about 10 minutes.

Griddle the bread to achieve bar marks on both sides, when well marked rub with the garlic again while its still warm.

Cover the toast generously with the tomato mixture, drizzle the balsamic vinegar if using and garnish with a basil leaf. Bruschetta is so easy to make but absolutely delicious. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7buGyavs7wI
