Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Roma tomatoes
- 10 leaves Fresh basil leaves
- 2 cloves Garlic
- 3 tablespoons Extra virgin olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Balsamic vinegar
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
- 1 loaf French or Italian baguette
- 1 tablespoon Butter (optional, for toasting)
Instructions
Wash and dice the Roma tomatoes into small cubes. Place them in a medium-sized mixing bowl.
Chop the fresh basil leaves finely and add them to the bowl with the tomatoes.
Mince the garlic cloves and add to the bowl.
Drizzle the extra virgin olive oil over the tomato mixture, followed by the balsamic vinegar. Add the salt and black pepper, then mix everything gently to combine. Set the mixture aside to marinate for at least 5 minutes.
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Slice the baguette into 1/2-inch thick slices. Lay the slices in a single layer on a baking sheet.
Brush the top of each slice lightly with olive oil or a thin layer of butter for extra flavor.
Toast the bread in the preheated oven for about 8-10 minutes or until golden brown and crispy on the edges.
Remove the bread from the oven and let it cool slightly.
Spoon a generous amount of the tomato mixture onto each toasted slice. Serve immediately.
