Method
Preparing the Balsamic Reduction
Cook the Balsamic Vinegar
In a small saucepan, combine 1 cup of balsamic vinegar and 2 tablespoons of honey. Bring to a simmer over medium heat.
Reduce the Mixture
Reduce heat to low and let the mixture simmer for about 15-20 minutes until it thickens and coats the back of a spoon. Remove from heat and let it cool.
Preparing the Topping
Chop the Tomatoes
Dice the 4 medium tomatoes and place them in a mixing bowl.
Add Seasonings
Finely chop the 2 cloves of garlic and add them to the bowl along with 1 cup of fresh basil leaves, 1 teaspoon of salt, and 1 teaspoon of pepper. Mix well.
Preparing the Bread
Assembling the Bruschetta
Top the Bread
Once the bread is grilled, remove it from the heat. Top each slice generously with the tomato mixture.
Drizzle with Balsamic Reduction
Drizzle the cooled balsamic reduction over the topped bruschetta before serving.
