📝 Instructions

11 steps

1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

2. Slice the baguette diagonally into 1/2-inch slices to create about 12 pieces.

3. Arrange the slices on a baking sheet and brush each side with olive oil.

4. Toast the bread slices in the preheated oven for 5-7 minutes, flipping halfway, until golden and crisp. Remove from the oven and rub each slice with a peeled garlic clove while still warm.

5. Meanwhile, halve the cherry tomatoes and finely chop the fresh basil leaves.

6. In a medium bowl, combine the cherry tomatoes, basil, salt, and black pepper. Toss gently to combine.

7. Toast the pecans in a dry skillet over medium heat for 2-3 minutes, stirring frequently, until fragrant. Let them cool, then chop roughly.

8. To assemble, spoon the tomato mixture onto each toasted baguette slice.

9. Sprinkle crumbled blue cheese and the chopped pecans evenly over the tomato topping.

10. Drizzle balsamic glaze over the bruschetta for a touch of sweetness.

11. Serve immediately and enjoy this delicious appetizer!
