Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 loaf Baguette
- 4 tbsp Extra virgin olive oil
- 2 cloves Garlic
- 1 cup Black olives
- 1 cup Green olives
- 1 cup Cherry tomatoes
- 10 leaves Fresh basil leaves
- 2 tbsp Fresh parsley
- 1 tbsp Lemon juice
- 2 tbsp Balsamic glaze
- 1 tsp Salt
- 0.5 tsp Black pepper
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Slice the baguette into 1/2-inch thick pieces. You should have about 12 slices.
Place the baguette slices on a baking sheet and brush both sides with 2 tablespoons of olive oil.
Toast the baguette slices in the oven for 5 minutes or until golden and crispy. Remove and let them cool slightly.
Peel and finely mince the garlic cloves. Set aside.
Finely chop the black olives, green olives, cherry tomatoes, basil leaves, and parsley, and place them in a medium-sized mixing bowl.
Add the minced garlic, remaining 2 tablespoons of olive oil, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper to the bowl. Stir well to combine all the ingredients.
Once the toasted baguette slices have cooled slightly, spoon a generous amount of the olive mixture onto each slice.
Drizzle balsamic glaze over the top of each bruschetta for an extra burst of flavor.
Serve immediately and enjoy!
