Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 pieces Roma tomatoes
- 16 pieces Fresh basil leaves
- 2 pieces Garlic cloves
- 4 tablespoons Extra virgin olive oil
- 2 teaspoons Balsamic vinegar
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper
- 1 piece Baguette
- 0.25 cups Grated Parmesan cheese (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Dice the Roma tomatoes into small cubes and place them in a medium-sized mixing bowl.
Chop the fresh basil leaves finely and add them to the bowl of tomatoes.
Mince the garlic cloves and add them to the tomato mixture.
Drizzle the extra virgin olive oil and balsamic vinegar over the tomato mixture. Season with salt and black pepper, then gently toss everything together to combine. Let the mixture sit for 10 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
While the tomato mixture is resting, slice the baguette into 16 even slices, about 1/2-inch thick each.
Place the baguette slices onto a baking sheet and bake them in the preheated oven for 5–7 minutes, or until they are golden and crispy.
Remove the toasted baguette slices from the oven. If desired, lightly rub the surface of each slice with a halved garlic clove for added flavor.
Spoon the tomato mixture evenly onto each of the toasted baguette slices.
If desired, sprinkle grated Parmesan cheese over the top of each bruschetta for an extra layer of flavor.
Serve immediately while the bread is still warm and crispy. Enjoy your Bruschetta 16!
