Servings 4
Ingredients
- 2 cloves fresh garlic minced
- 1/3 cup olive oil extra virgin olive oil
- 4 medium Roma tomatoes diced with seeds removed
- 6 leaves fresh basil chiffonade
- 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
- 1/3 cup Parmesan cheese grated
- 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper freshly coursed ground
- 1/2 loaf Baguette sliced 1/4 inch thick
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees, slice the bread and place on the cooking sheet and drizzle with a bit of extra virgin olive oil. Once the oven is preheated, cook on the middle rack for about 8 minutes. Turning at the 4-minute mark. Keep an eye on it, so the bread does not get too crisp.
- Heat the oil over medium heat and add the minced garlic. Cook for about 4 - 5 minutes, make sure to watch, so the garlic does not burn or become too brown.
- Take the oil mixture off the heat and put it in a mixing bowl to cool.
- Once the oil is cooled, add tomatoes, basil, balsamic vinegar, parmesan cheese, salt, and pepper. Mix until it is well blended and set aside.
- Once your bread is toasted (some peeps like to rub with fresh garlic clove once out of the oven - your choice), add 1 - 2 tablespoons of the Bruschetta mixture on top of the toast and plate them all up.
- Garnish with a little flaky salt and more finely grated parmesan cheese.
