Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 300 grams Cherry tomatoes
- 1 loaf Baguette
- 4 tablespoons Olive oil
- 10 pieces Fresh basil leaves
- 2 pieces Garlic cloves
- 1 tablespoon Balsamic vinegar
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
Instructions
Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium heat.
Rinse the cherry tomatoes and toss them with 1 tablespoon of olive oil, a pinch of salt, and black pepper.
Place the tomatoes on the hot grill and cook for 3-5 minutes, tossing occasionally, until they are slightly charred and soft. Remove from heat and set aside.
Slice the baguette into 1/2-inch thick slices. Lightly brush each slice with 2 tablespoons of olive oil.
Grill the bread slices for 1-2 minutes per side, or until golden and crunchy. Remove from the grill and immediately rub each slice with a peeled garlic clove for added flavor.
In a small bowl, combine the grilled tomatoes, 1 tablespoon olive oil, balsamic vinegar, and chopped basil leaves. Mix gently to avoid breaking the tomatoes too much.
Spoon the tomato mixture generously onto each slice of grilled bread.
Garnish with additional fresh basil if desired. Serve immediately and enjoy!
