Method

For the Crostini

  1. 1

    Prepare the Baguette

    Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Slice the baguette into 1/2 inch thick slices and arrange them on a baking sheet.

  2. 2

    Season the Baguette

    Drizzle the sliced baguette with olive oil. Sprinkle with salt and pepper to taste.

  3. 3

    Bake the Crostini

    Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for about 10-12 minutes, or until the slices are golden brown and crispy. Remove from the oven and let cool slightly.

For the Tomato Basil Bruschetta

  1. 4

    Prepare the Tomato Mixture

    Dice the ripe tomatoes and place them in a mixing bowl. Chop the fresh basil leaves and add them to the tomatoes.

  2. 5

    Add Flavorings

    Mince the garlic cloves and add them to the tomato and basil mixture. Pour in the balsamic vinegar and extra virgin olive oil, then season with salt and pepper. Gently stir to combine.

  3. 6

    Assemble the Bruschetta

    Spoon the tomato basil mixture generously over each slice of baked crostini. Serve immediately.
