Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 5 pieces Roma tomatoes
- 0.5 cups Fresh basil leaves
- 2 pieces Garlic cloves
- 3 tablespoons Extra virgin olive oil
- 1 tablespoon Balsamic vinegar
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
- 1 loaf French baguette
- 0.25 cups 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 bowl.
Chop the fresh basil leaves finely and add them to the bowl of tomatoes.
Mince the garlic cloves and mix them with the tomatoes and basil.
Add the olive oil, balsamic vinegar, salt, and black pepper to the bowl. Stir well to combine all the ingredients. Set the mixture aside to marinate while you prepare the bread.
Slice the French baguette into 1/2-inch thick slices on a slight diagonal for a larger surface area.
Arrange the baguette slices on a baking sheet and lightly brush each slice with olive oil on one side.
Toast the bread in the preheated oven for 5–7 minutes, or until golden brown and slightly crispy.
Remove the toasted baguette slices from the oven and let them cool slightly.
Spoon the tomato and basil mixture evenly onto the toasted bread slices.
If desired, sprinkle each bruschetta with freshly grated Parmesan cheese for added flavor.
Serve immediately and enjoy your fresh, flavorful Bruschetta III!
