Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon Extra-virgin olive oil
- 2 pieces Garlic cloves, minced
- 2 cups Cherry tomatoes, halved
- 0.25 cup Low-sodium vegetable broth
- 1 teaspoon Balsamic vinegar
- 0.5 teaspoon Dried oregano
- 2 tablespoons Fresh basil, chopped
- 4 pieces Whole-grain bread slices
- 0.5 piece Avocado, sliced (optional)
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Freshly ground black pepper
Instructions
Heat the olive oil in a medium-sized skillet over medium heat.
Add the minced garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant, being careful not to let it burn.
Add the halved cherry tomatoes to the skillet and cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring frequently, until they start to soften and release their juices.
Pour in the low-sodium vegetable broth and add the balsamic vinegar, dried oregano, salt, and freshly ground black pepper. Stir well to combine.
Reduce the heat to low and let the mixture simmer for an additional 5 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld and the sauce to thicken slightly.
Toast the whole-grain bread slices to your desired level of crispiness.
Spoon the savory tomato sauce generously over each slice of toast.
Optionally, top with thin slices of avocado and a sprinkle of fresh basil for added flavor and creaminess.
Serve immediately and enjoy!
