Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 loaf French baguette
- 4 tablespoons Extra virgin olive oil
- 2 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
- 1 cup Cherry tomatoes, halved
- 2 tablespoons Fresh basil leaves, chopped
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 tablespoon Balsamic glaze
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Slice the French baguette into 1/2 inch thick slices. You should have about 12 slices.
Brush both sides of each slice with extra virgin olive oil, using about 2 tablespoons in total.
Place the slices on a baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for 5 minutes on one side, then flip and bake for another 3-5 minutes until golden brown and crispy.
While the bread is toasting, prepare the topping. In a medium bowl, combine the minced garlic, cherry tomatoes, and chopped basil.
Add the remaining 2 tablespoons of olive oil, salt, and black pepper to the tomato mixture, and toss everything gently to combine.
Once the bread is golden and crisp, remove it from the oven and let it cool slightly.
Top each crostino with a generous spoonful of the tomato mixture.
Drizzle a small amount of balsamic glaze over each piece.
Serve immediately and enjoy your Dairy-Free Crostino Dorato!
