I tasted bruschetta with cherry tomatoes in a bistro and I loved it very much. I was hunting for baguette to make this bruschetta recipe. I the mean I made this bruschetta recipe many times with regular bread. When I made baguette recently I immediately made this bruschetta recipe the next day.
Bruschetta is basically grilled bread served with a garlic and olive oil topping. To make it more fancy cherry tomatoes and onions are used as topping. Read more about bruschetta here. I purchased cherry tomatoes and basil leaves just to make bruschetta recipe. Cherry tomatoes lend a nice sweet note to this starter and basil leaves improves the flavor by leaps and bounds. You can use normal tomatoes and cilantro leaves as well in this bruschetta recipe.
To make bruschetta recipe you can use baguette or even thick slices of garlic or normal bread. If using normal loaf try to get it sliced a bit thick.

You can grill it, toast on stove top, also use sandwich maker to make bruschetta.
Serve bruschetta as starter or snack with any cold drink or tea.
