Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 whole French baguette
- 6 medium Roma tomatoes
- 2 whole Garlic cloves
- 10 leaves Fresh basil leaves
- 4 tablespoons Extra virgin olive oil
- 1 tablespoon Balsamic vinegar
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Slice the baguette into 1/2-inch thick slices and place them on a baking sheet.
Brush each slice lightly with 2 tablespoons of olive oil.
Place the baking sheet in the oven and bake for 8-10 minutes, or until the bread is golden brown and crispy.
While the bread is toasting, dice the Roma tomatoes into small pieces and transfer them to a medium mixing bowl.
Mince the garlic cloves and add them to the bowl with the tomatoes.
Chop the fresh basil leaves finely and add them to the mixing bowl.
Drizzle 2 tablespoons of olive oil and 1 tablespoon of balsamic vinegar over the tomato mixture.
Season with salt and black pepper, then stir everything gently to combine. Let the mixture rest for a few minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
Once the bread is toasted, remove it from the oven and let it cool slightly. Optionally, rub the surface of each slice with a halved garlic clove for extra flavor.
Spoon the tomato mixture onto each bread slice, distributing it evenly.
Serve immediately and enjoy your delicious, easy bruschetta!
