Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups cherry tomatoes
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
- 2 cloves garlic
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
- 1 loaf baguette
- 5 ounces chevre (goat cheese)
- 0.5 cups fresh basil leaves
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Wash and dry the cherry tomatoes, then slice them in half.
In a mixing bowl, combine the halved cherry tomatoes, 2 tablespoons of olive oil, balsamic vinegar, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper. Toss well to coat.
Spread the tomato mixture onto a parchment-lined baking sheet. Roast in the oven for 20-25 minutes, stirring halfway, until the tomatoes are soft and slightly caramelized.
While the tomatoes are roasting, slice the baguette into 1/2-inch thick slices. You should get about 12-15 slices.
Arrange the baguette slices on another baking sheet. Brush one side of each slice with the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil.
Place the bread slices in the oven (at the same 400°F) and toast for 6-8 minutes or until golden and crisp.
Remove the roasted tomatoes and toasted bread from the oven. Let both cool for a few minutes.
Spread a thin layer of chevre (goat cheese) onto the toasted side of each baguette slice.
Top each slice with a spoonful of roasted tomatoes.
Garnish each bruschetta with a small basil leaf or a sprinkle of freshly chopped basil.
Serve immediately and enjoy!
