Ingredients
- 4 medium Ripe tomatoes
- 8 large Fresh basil leaves
- 2 medium Garlic cloves
- 3 tablespoons Extra virgin olive oil
- 1 tablespoon Balsamic vinegar
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Freshly ground black pepper
- 1 loaf French or Italian baguette
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil (for toasting bread)
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Step 2
Dice the tomatoes into small, uniform pieces and place them in a medium-sized mixing bowl.
Step 3
Chop the basil leaves finely and add them to the bowl with the tomatoes.
Step 4
Mince the garlic cloves and mix them into the tomato and basil mixture.
Step 5
Drizzle the extra virgin olive oil and balsamic vinegar over the mixture, and sprinkle with salt and freshly ground black pepper. Gently toss to combine and set aside to marinate while preparing the bread.
Step 6
Slice the baguette into 1/2-inch thick slices on a diagonal to create more surface area for the topping.
Step 7
Place the bread slices on a baking sheet. Brush the tops lightly with olive oil, then toast in the preheated oven for about 8-10 minutes, or until golden and crisp.
Step 8
Remove the toasted bread from the oven and let it cool slightly before assembling.
Step 9
Spoon a generous amount of the tomato mixture onto each slice of toasted bread.
Step 10
