Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 loaf Baguette
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 6 ounces Fresh goat cheese
- 1 pint Cherry tomatoes
- 10 leaves Fresh basil leaves
- 2 cloves Garlic
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Balsamic glaze
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Slice the baguette into 1/2-inch rounds, yielding approximately 16 slices.
Arrange the baguette slices on a large baking sheet and brush both sides lightly with 2 tablespoons of olive oil.
Toast the baguette slices in the oven for 8-10 minutes, flipping them halfway through, until golden brown and crisp.
While the baguette slices are toasting, prepare the tomato topping by halving the cherry tomatoes and placing them in a mixing bowl.
Finely chop the basil leaves and add them to the bowl with the tomatoes.
Mince the garlic cloves and add them to the tomato mixture along with the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil, salt, and black pepper. Stir well to combine.
Once the baguette slices are toasted, let them cool slightly, then spread a generous layer of goat cheese on each slice.
Top each goat cheese-covered toast with a spoonful of the tomato-basil mixture.
Drizzle balsamic glaze over the assembled bruschetta just before serving.
Serve immediately and enjoy!
