Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 loaf gluten-free baguette
- 4 medium ripe tomatoes
- 12 pieces fresh basil leaves
- 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
- 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
- 2 large garlic cloves
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Slice the gluten-free baguette into 1/2-inch thick slices. You should have about 12 slices.
Place the slices on a baking sheet and drizzle them with a tablespoon of olive oil. Turn the slices over to ensure both sides are slightly coated, then place them in the oven. Toast for about 5 minutes, or until golden brown.
While the bread is toasting, dice the tomatoes into small cubes and place them in a medium mixing bowl.
Chop the basil leaves finely and add them to the tomatoes.
Mince the garlic cloves and add them to the tomato and basil mixture.
Add the remaining tablespoon of olive oil, balsamic vinegar, salt, and freshly ground black pepper to the bowl. Stir gently to combine, ensuring the tomatoes are evenly coated.
Once the bread is toasted, remove it from the oven and let it cool slightly.
Top each toasted slice of bread with a generous spoonful of the tomato and basil mixture.
Serve immediately for the best texture and flavor.
