Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 whole baguette (vegan-friendly)
- 3 large ripe tomatoes
- 10 leaves fresh basil leaves
- 100 grams vegan cheese (mozzarella-style)
- 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
- 2 cloves garlic cloves
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Slice the baguette into 1/2-inch thick rounds and arrange them on a baking tray.
Drizzle each slice with olive oil using 2 tablespoons of the measured amount and bake in the oven for 7-10 minutes, or until golden and crisp.
While the bread is toasting, finely dice the tomatoes and place them in a bowl.
Chop the basil leaves coarsely and add them to the bowl with tomatoes.
Dice the vegan cheese into small cubes and mix it with the tomatoes and basil.
Peel and mince the garlic cloves and add them to the tomato mixture along with 1 tablespoon of olive oil, balsamic vinegar, salt, and black pepper. Stir well to combine all the flavors.
Once the baguette slices are toasted, remove them from the oven.
Top each slice with a generous amount of the tomato and vegan cheese mixture.
Optionally, garnish with additional basil before serving.
Serve immediately and enjoy this fresh, vegan delight.
