Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 loaf Baguette
- 4 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 clove Garlic
- 6 ounces Goat cheese
- 1 cup Sun-dried tomatoes (packed in oil)
- 6 leaves Fresh basil leaves
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Balsamic glaze (optional)
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
Slice the baguette into 1/2-inch thick slices (around 16 pieces).
Arrange the baguette slices on a baking sheet and brush each slice lightly with 2 tablespoons of olive oil.
Toast the baguette slices in the oven for 8-10 minutes until they are golden and crisp, then set aside to cool slightly.
Peel the garlic clove and gently rub the cut side on each toasted baguette slice to infuse them with garlic flavor.
Spread a generous layer of goat cheese onto each toast.
Drain the sun-dried tomatoes if packed in oil, then chop them into small pieces.
Top each goat cheese-covered slice with a spoonful of chopped sun-dried tomatoes.
Chiffonade the basil leaves by stacking, rolling, and slicing them into thin strips, then sprinkle over the bruschetta.
Drizzle the remaining 2 tablespoons of olive oil evenly over the bruschetta.
Season with a small pinch of salt and black pepper to taste.
If desired, drizzle balsamic glaze over the top for an extra layer of flavor.
Serve immediately and enjoy this delicious appetizer!
