Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 large loaf Baguette
- 0.25 cup Olive oil
- 3 whole Garlic cloves
- 4 medium Fresh tomatoes
- 1 cup Dairy-free cheese shreds (mozzarella style)
- 0.5 cup Fresh basil leaves
- 2 tablespoons Balsamic vinegar
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
Slice the baguette into 1/2-inch thick slices. You should have about 16 slices.
Arrange the slices on a baking sheet. Brush both sides with olive oil using a pastry brush.
Place the baking sheet in the oven and bake for about 5 minutes, or until the bread slices are lightly toasted.
While the bread is toasting, peel and finely chop the garlic cloves.
Wash and core the tomatoes, then cut them into small cubes.
In a medium bowl, combine the diced tomatoes, half of the chopped garlic, salt, black pepper, and 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Stir well.
Once the bread is toasted, remove from the oven and rub one side of each slice with the remaining chopped garlic.
Top each slice with a generous spoonful of the tomato mixture.
Sprinkle about a tablespoon of dairy-free cheese shreds on top of each bruschetta.
Return the topped bread to the oven and bake for an additional 2-3 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Remove from the oven and let cool slightly.
Drizzle each bruschetta with balsamic vinegar.
Garnish with fresh basil leaves just before serving.
