Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 loaf baguette
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 garlic cloves
- 1.5 cups cherry tomatoes
- 1 cup feta cheese
- 0.5 cup fresh basil leaves
- 2 tablespoons balsamic glaze
- 0.25 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 and arrange them on a baking sheet.
Brush both sides of each baguette slice with 2 tablespoons of olive oil.
Bake the baguette slices for 8-10 minutes or until golden and lightly crisp. Remove from the oven and let them cool slightly.
While the baguette toasts, finely mince the garlic cloves. Heat the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a small pan over medium heat and sauté the garlic for 1-2 minutes, until fragrant but not browned. Set aside.
Dice the cherry tomatoes into small chunks and place them in a mixing bowl.
Crumble the feta cheese and add to the tomatoes.
Chop the fresh basil leaves into thin strips and mix them into the tomato and feta mixture.
Add the sautéed garlic, salt, and black pepper to the bowl and gently toss until everything is combined.
Top each toasted baguette slice with a generous spoonful of the tomato and feta mixture.
Drizzle balsamic glaze over the bruschetta just before serving for a tangy finish.
Serve immediately and enjoy this vibrant appetizer!
