Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 loaf baguette
- 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 2 cloves garlic cloves
- 2 cups cherry tomatoes
- 6 leaves fresh basil leaves
- 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
- 2 tablespoons balsamic glaze
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Slice the baguette into 1/2-inch thick slices. You should have about 16 slices.
Brush the top of each slice with extra virgin olive oil and arrange them on a baking sheet, olive oil side up.
Bake the baguette slices for 7-10 minutes, or until they are lightly golden and crispy. Remove from the oven and set aside to cool slightly.
While the baguette is toasting, mince the garlic cloves and chop the cherry tomatoes into small pieces.
Chop the fresh basil leaves finely or tear them into small pieces.
In a medium mixing bowl, combine the tomatoes, minced garlic, basil, balsamic vinegar, salt, and black pepper. Toss gently to combine.
Once the toasted baguette slices have cooled slightly, spoon the tomato mixture evenly onto each slice.
Drizzle the bruschetta with a small amount of balsamic glaze for added flavor and presentation.
Serve immediately on a platter and enjoy your Party Time Bruschetta with friends and family.
