Garlic Basil Tomato Bruschetta
Ingredients
  • 1 1/2 pounds plum tomatoes, seeded and cut into small dice
  • 6 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, divided
  • 1/4 cup chopped fresh basil
  • 2 tablespoons finely chopped red onion
  • 2 large cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 teaspoons red wine vinegar
  • freshly ground black pepper to taste
  • 1 French baguette, cut into 1/2-inch thick slices
  • 1 tablespoon high-quality balsamic vinegar, or to taste
Instructions
1
Combine the ingredients of your choice, including 3 tablespoons of olive oil, a handful of fresh basil leaves, thinly sliced red onion, minced garlic, a splash of red wine vinegar, and a pinch of pepper in a bowl; allow the mixture to sit at room temperature for 15 minutes before refrigerating it for an additional 45 minutes, where it will meld together beautifully
2
Prepare your oven by positioning the rack approximately 6 inches away from the heat source and then preheat the broiler to its highest temperature.
3
Take a moment to brush one side of your Baguette slices with the remaining 3 tablespoons of olive oil, then carefully place them oiled-side-up onto a baking sheet.
4
Place the Baguette slices under the broiler and cook until they are golden brown, approximately 2 minutes
5
Spoon your prepared tomato mixture onto the toasted Baguette slices and finish by drizzling it with a small amount of balsamic vinegar; serve your creation immediately
