Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 large Roma tomatoes
- 10 leaves Fresh basil leaves
- 2 cloves Garlic
- 4 tablespoons Extra-virgin olive oil
- 1 tablespoon Balsamic vinegar
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 loaf French or Italian baguette
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil (for brushing bread)
Instructions
Dice the Roma tomatoes into small cubes and place them into a medium-sized mixing bowl.
Finely chop the fresh basil leaves and add them to the tomatoes.
Mince the garlic cloves and mix them into the tomato and basil mixture.
Drizzle the extra-virgin olive oil and balsamic vinegar over the mixture. Add the salt and black pepper, then gently toss everything together until evenly combined. Set aside to allow the flavors to meld.
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) or set a grill to medium-high heat.
Slice the baguette diagonally into 1/2-inch thick slices. Lightly brush each side of the slices with olive oil.
Place the slices on a baking sheet if using the oven, or directly onto the grill. Toast for 5–7 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden and crisp.
Remove the toasted bread from the oven or grill and let it cool slightly.
Spoon the tomato mixture generously onto each toasted bread slice just before serving.
Serve immediately and enjoy this fresh and flavorful appetizer!
