Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 loaf baguette
- 4 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 cloves garlic
- 4 medium tomatoes
- 10 pieces fresh basil leaves
- 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Parmesan cheese (optional)
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
Slice the baguette into 1/2-inch thick slices. You should have about 20-24 pieces.
Arrange the baguette slices on a baking sheet and brush each slice lightly with 2 tablespoons of olive oil on one side.
Bake the bread slices in the preheated oven for 7-10 minutes, or until the edges are golden and crispy. Keep an eye on them to prevent burning.
While the bread is toasting, finely chop the tomatoes and place them into a medium bowl.
Mince 2 garlic cloves and add to the tomatoes.
Finely chop the fresh basil leaves and mix them into the tomato mixture.
Add the remaining 2 tablespoons of olive oil, balsamic vinegar, salt, and black pepper to the tomato mixture. Stir well to combine.
Remove the toasted baguette slices from the oven and let them cool slightly.
Top each baguette slice with a generous spoonful of the tomato-basil mixture.
If desired, sprinkle freshly grated Parmesan cheese over the top of each bruschetta.
Serve immediately and enjoy your Party Bruschetta with friends and family!
