Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Cherry tomatoes
- 8 leaves Fresh basil leaves
- 2 cloves Garlic
- 4 tablespoons Extra virgin olive oil
- 3 tablespoons Vodka
- 0.5 teaspoons Red chili flakes
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Balsamic glaze
- 1 loaf Baguette
- 0.5 cups Parmesan cheese, shaved
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Slice the baguette into 1/2-inch thick slices and place them on a baking sheet. Brush each slice with 2 tablespoons of olive oil.
Toast the baguette slices in the oven for 8–10 minutes or until golden brown. Remove and set aside.
Chop the cherry tomatoes into quarters and finely mince the garlic.
In a medium skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat.
Add the minced garlic to the skillet and sauté for 1–2 minutes, or until fragrant but not browned.
Stir in the cherry tomatoes, red chili flakes, salt, and black pepper. Cook for another 3–4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the tomatoes soften slightly.
Carefully pour in the vodka and stir. Simmer for an additional 2–3 minutes to allow the alcohol to cook off, leaving a rich flavor behind.
Remove the skillet from the heat and mix in the chopped basil leaves.
Top each toasted baguette slice with a spoonful of the vodka-tomato mixture.
Drizzle balsamic glaze over the bruschetta and sprinkle with shaved Parmesan cheese.
Serve immediately as a delicious appetizer or snack.
