Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 slices Rustic bread or baguette
- 4 tablespoons Extra virgin olive oil
- 2 whole Garlic cloves, peeled
- 4 medium Fresh tomatoes, diced
- 6 leaves Fresh basil leaves, finely chopped
- 1 tablespoon Balsamic vinegar
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Freshly ground black pepper
Instructions
Preheat your outdoor grill or stovetop grill pan to medium-high heat.
Brush both sides of each bread slice with 2 tablespoons of olive oil, ensuring an even coating.
Place the bread slices on the preheated grill and cook for 1-2 minutes per side, until grill marks appear and the bread is toasted. Set the toasted bread aside.
While the bread cools slightly, prepare the tomato topping. In a medium-sized bowl, combine the diced tomatoes, chopped basil, balsamic vinegar, remaining 2 tablespoons of olive oil, salt, and black pepper. Toss gently to mix well.
Take a peeled garlic clove and gently rub it over the surface of each grilled bread slice. The warm bread will absorb the flavor of the garlic.
Spoon the tomato mixture generously onto each slice of bread, allowing the juices to soak slightly into the toast.
Serve immediately as a warm appetizer or as part of an antipasto platter. Enjoy!
