Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 loaf Baguette
- 4 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 Garlic cloves
- 200 grams Cherry tomatoes
- 10 leaves Fresh basil leaves
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Ground black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Balsamic glaze
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
Slice the baguette diagonally into 1/2-inch thick slices to get about 12 pieces.
Arrange the baguette slices on a baking sheet.
Brush each slice with olive oil on both sides using a pastry brush.
Peel the garlic cloves and cut them in half. Rub the cut side of the garlic over each slice of the bread.
Place the baking sheet in the oven and toast the bread for about 8-10 minutes or until golden brown and crispy. Remove from the oven and set aside to cool.
While the bread is toasting, wash and halve the cherry tomatoes.
Chop the basil leaves coarsely.
In a bowl, combine the cherry tomatoes, chopped basil, salt, and ground black pepper. Mix gently to combine.
Top each toasted baguette slice with a spoonful of the tomato-basil mixture.
Drizzle the balsamic glaze over the assembled crostini just before serving.
Serve immediately as a fresh appetizer or snack.
