Base

Method

Preparation of the Base

  1. 1

    Slice the Baguette

    Using a sharp knife, slice the baguette into 1/2 inch thick slices on a diagonal.

  2. 2

    Toast the Bread

    Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Place the sliced baguette on a baking sheet and brush both sides with olive oil. Sprinkle with salt. Toast in the oven for about 5-7 minutes, or until golden brown. Remove from the oven and let cool slightly.

Preparation of the Topping

  1. 3

    Combine Ingredients

    In a medium bowl, combine the diced tomatoes, chopped basil leaves, minced garlic, balsamic vinegar, and black pepper. Mix gently until well combined.

  2. 4

    Let it Rest

    Allow the mixture to sit for at least 10 minutes at room temperature to let the flavors meld together.

Assembly

  1. 5

    Top the Bread

    Using a spoon, generously top each toasted baguette slice with the tomato mixture.

  2. 6

    Serve Immediately

    Serve the bruschetta immediately as an appetizer or snack, drizzling any remaining juice from the bowl over the top for extra flavor.
