Starters Ingredients
Method
Starters Directions
Prepare the Tomato Mixture
In a large bowl, combine cherry tomatoes, minced garlic, olive oil, balsamic vinegar, salt, and pepper. Toss gently to coat the tomatoes evenly with the mixture.
Add Fresh Basil
Chop the fresh basil and gently fold it into the tomato mixture. Let it sit for about 10 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
Toast the Bread
While the tomato mixture is resting, preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Arrange the sliced crusty bread on a baking sheet and drizzle with a little olive oil. Toast in the oven for about 5-7 minutes until golden brown.
Assemble the Starters
Spoon the tomato and basil mixture onto the toasted bread slices. Sprinkle grated Parmesan cheese on top before serving.
