Servings: 8
Ingredients
For the bruschetta:
- 2 cups cherry or grape tomatoes, sliced
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
- 1/3 cup basil chopped (or more if desired)
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Balsamic glaze optional
For the baguette slices:
- 1 large whole wheat baguette sliced into 1/2-inch slices
- 2 tablespoons olive oil for brushing
- 1 clove garlic sliced in half
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
- To make the bruschetta, slice the tomatoes and place in a bowl and mix in the chopped garlic, olive oil, balsamic vinegar, basil, salt/pepper and set aside to let marinate.
- Slice the baguette into about 16 slices (or however many it yields) and lightly brush them with olive oil. Place each slice oiled-side down on a sheet pan and toast in the oven for 8 to 10 minutes, until lightly toasted.
- Once the bread is lightly toasted, rub garlic on each slice and spoon on the tomato mixture. Drizzle with the balsamic glaze, if desired, and enjoy!
- Store any excess bruschetta in a sealed, airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days. This tastes amazing over grilled chicken!
