Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 medium ripe tomatoes
- 10 leaves fresh basil leaves
- 2 cloves garlic
- 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 loaf French baguette
- 1 drizzle optional balsamic glaze
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Dice the medium ripe tomatoes into small, even pieces and place them in a mixing bowl.
Finely chop the 10 fresh basil leaves and add them to the bowl with the tomatoes.
Mince the 2 cloves of garlic and add to the tomato mixture.
Pour 2 tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil and 1 tablespoon of balsamic vinegar into the bowl. Add 0.5 teaspoon of salt and 0.25 teaspoon of black pepper.
Toss all the ingredients in the bowl until well combined. Let the mixture sit for at least 5 minutes to allow flavors to meld.
Slice the French baguette diagonally into 12 pieces, about 1/2-inch thick each.
Arrange the baguette slices on a baking sheet and lightly brush them with olive oil on one side.
Toast the bread in the preheated oven for about 8-10 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy.
Remove the toasted bread from the oven and let it cool slightly.
Top each baguette slice with a spoonful of the tomato and basil mixture, spreading it evenly.
For an extra touch, optionally drizzle a balsamic glaze over the top of each bruschetta.
Serve immediately and enjoy your dairy-free classic tomato and basil bruschetta.
