Ingredients

Scale

For the Bruschetta Topping:

  • 2 cups cherry or grape tomatoes, diced
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tbsp balsamic vinegar
  • 1 garlic clove, minced
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper
  • 1/4 cup fresh basil leaves, chopped

For the Bread:

  • 1 baguette, sliced into 1/2-inch rounds
  • 2 tbsp olive oil (for brushing)

Optional Garnishes:

Instructions

1. Prepare the Bruschetta Topping:

  1. In a medium bowl, combine the diced tomatoes, olive oil, balsamic vinegar, minced garlic, salt, pepper, and chopped basil.
  2. Mix gently until well combined. Cover and let the mixture marinate at room temperature for 15-20 minutes to enhance the flavors.

2. Toast the Bread:

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Arrange the baguette slices on a baking sheet.
  2. Brush each slice lightly with olive oil.
  3. Bake for 8-10 minutes, or until golden and crisp. Let cool slightly.

3. Assemble the Bruschetta:

  1. Spoon the tomato mixture onto each toasted baguette slice.
  2. Drizzle with balsamic glaze and sprinkle with shredded Parmesan cheese, if desired.

4. Serve and Enjoy:

  • Arrange the bruschetta on a serving platter and garnish with additional basil leaves for an elegant presentation.

Notes

  • For a twist, add fresh mozzarella or goat cheese to the bread before topping with the tomato mixture.
  • If you prefer, grill the bread slices for an extra smoky flavor.
  • Make the tomato topping up to 4 hours ahead and store in the refrigerator until ready to serve.
