Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 loaf Baguette
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 cloves Garlic cloves
- 2 cups Golden cherry tomatoes
- 1 cup Fresh basil leaves
- 3 ounces Gorgonzola cheese
- 1 cup Balsamic vinegar
- 2 tablespoons Honey
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.5 teaspoons Freshly ground black pepper
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Slice the baguette into 1/2-inch thick slices. Arrange them on a baking sheet.
Brush each slice with olive oil on both sides. Bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until lightly golden and crisp.
While the bread is toasting, mince the garlic and set it aside.
Halve the golden cherry tomatoes and place them in a bowl. Add the minced garlic, salt, pepper, and 1 tablespoon of olive oil, tossing to combine.
Chop the basil leaves finely and gently stir them into the tomato mixture. Set aside to marinate.
In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine the balsamic vinegar and honey. Simmer for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the mixture has reduced by half and thickened into a syrup. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
Remove the toasted baguette slices from the oven and let them cool slightly.
Spread a small amount of Gorgonzola cheese on each slice of toast.
Top each Gorgonzola-coated toast with a spoonful of the golden tomato mixture.
Drizzle the balsamic syrup over the bruschetta and serve immediately.
