Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 loaf Baguette or crusty Italian bread
- 4 medium Fresh tomatoes
- 2 tablespoons Fresh oregano
- 2 cloves Garlic
- 4 tablespoons Extra-virgin olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Ground black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Balsamic vinegar (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Slice the baguette into 1/2-inch thick slices and arrange them in a single layer on a baking sheet.
Brush each slice with 2 tablespoons of the olive oil and toast in the oven for 8-10 minutes, or until golden and crisp.
While the bread is toasting, dice the tomatoes into small pieces and transfer to a medium mixing bowl.
Mince the garlic and add it to the tomatoes.
Chop the fresh oregano finely and add it to the tomato mixture.
Season the mixture with salt, black pepper, and the remaining 2 tablespoons of olive oil. Stir to combine. If using balsamic vinegar, add it now and mix well.
Once the bread slices are toasted, remove them from the oven and allow them to cool for 1-2 minutes.
Top each slice of bread with a generous spoonful of the tomato mixture.
Serve immediately as an appetizer or snack.
