Ingredients
- 1 loaf baguette
- 2 cups cherry tomatoes
- 1 head garlic
- 4 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
- 8 leaves fresh basil leaves
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Step 2
Slice the baguette into 1/2 inch thick slices and arrange them on a baking sheet.
Step 3
Cut the top off the head of garlic to expose the cloves, drizzle with 1 tablespoon of olive oil, and wrap it tightly in foil. Place on a separate baking sheet.
Step 4
Spread the cherry tomatoes on the same sheet as the garlic. Drizzle with 2 tablespoons of olive oil, sprinkle with salt and pepper, and toss to coat.
Step 5
Place the garlic and tomatoes in the oven and roast for 25-30 minutes, or until the tomatoes are blistered and the garlic is soft.
Step 6
While the toppings are roasting, lightly brush the baguette slices with 1 tablespoon of olive oil and toast them in the oven for 5-7 minutes, until golden and crisp.
Step 7
Remove the roasted garlic from the oven and allow it to cool slightly. Squeeze the roasted garlic cloves out of their skins into a small bowl and mash into a paste using a fork.
Step 8
In a separate bowl, combine the roasted cherry tomatoes with the balsamic vinegar.
Step 9
Spread a thin layer of roasted garlic paste onto each toasted baguette slice.
Step 10
Top each slice with a spoonful of the roasted cherry tomatoes.
Step 11
Garnish with a fresh basil leaf and serve immediately.
