Balsamic Reduction

Sourdough Bread

Method

Balsamic Reduction

  1. 1

    Prepare the Balsamic Reduction

    In a small saucepan, combine 1 cup of balsamic vinegar and 2 tablespoons of honey. Stir well to combine.

  2. 2

    Cook the Mixture

    Place the saucepan over medium heat and bring the mixture to a simmer. Reduce the heat to low and let it simmer gently for about 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the mixture has thickened and reduced by about half.

  3. 3

    Cool the Reduction

    Once thickened, remove the saucepan from heat and let the balsamic reduction cool. It will continue to thicken as it cools.

Sourdough Bread

  1. 4

    Prepare the Sourdough

    While the balsamic reduction is cooling, take 2 slices of sourdough bread and brush both sides lightly with 1 tablespoon of olive oil.

  2. 5

    Toast the Bread

    Heat a skillet over medium heat. Once hot, add the sourdough slices and toast them for about 2-3 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown and crispy.

  3. 6

    Plate and Serve

    Once the sourdough is toasted, remove it from the skillet and place it on a plate. Drizzle the cooled balsamic reduction over the toasted sourdough and serve immediately.
