Starters

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Tomato Mixture

    In a large mixing bowl, combine the halved cherry tomatoes, minced garlic, chopped basil, balsamic vinegar, salt, and black pepper. Toss everything together until the tomatoes are well coated. Let it marinate for at least 15 minutes.

  2. 2

    Toast the Baguette

    Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Arrange the slices of French baguette on a baking sheet. Brush each slice lightly with olive oil and bake in the preheated oven for about 5-7 minutes until golden and crispy.

  3. 3

    Assemble the Starters

    Once the tomato mixture has marinated and the baguette slices are toasted, take a spoonful of the tomato mixture and place it on each toasted baguette slice. Top with grated Parmesan cheese.

  4. 4

    Serve

    Arrange the assembled starters on a serving platter and enjoy immediately.
