Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the tomatoes

    Dice the fresh tomatoes into small cubes and place them in a mixing bowl.

  2. 2

    Add garlic and basil

    Mince the garlic cloves and add them to the bowl with the diced tomatoes. Tear the basil leaves into smaller pieces and add them as well.

  3. 3

    Season the mixture

    Drizzle in the extra virgin olive oil and balsamic glaze. Sprinkle with salt and black pepper to taste. Gently stir the mixture until well combined.

Assembly

  1. 4

    Toast the baguette

    Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Slice the baguette into 1-inch thick slices. Place the slices on a baking sheet and toast in the oven for about 5-7 minutes, or until they are golden brown and crispy.

  2. 5

    Top the toasted bread

    Once the bread is toasted, remove it from the oven and allow it to cool slightly. Spoon the tomato mixture generously onto each slice of toasted baguette.

  3. 6

    Serve

    Arrange the bruschetta on a serving platter and optionally drizzle with extra balsamic glaze for garnish. Serve immediately.
