Ingredients
- 1 loaf baguette or crusty bread
- 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 4 medium fresh tomatoes
- 2 cloves garlic
- 8 leaves fresh basil leaves
- 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro (optional, for a Spanish touch)
- 0.5 medium red onion
- 1 tablespoon aged sherry vinegar
- 0.5 teaspoon sea salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Step 2
Slice the baguette or crusty bread into 1/2-inch thick slices. Arrange them on a baking sheet in a single layer.
Step 3
Brush both sides of each slice with 2 tablespoons of olive oil. Place the baking sheet in the oven and bake for 8-10 minutes, or until the bread is golden and slightly crisp.
Step 4
While the bread is toasting, dice the fresh tomatoes and red onion into small, even pieces and place them in a medium-sized bowl.
Step 5
Finely mince the garlic cloves and add them to the bowl along with the chopped basil leaves and optional cilantro.
Step 6
Drizzle the tomato mixture with the remaining tablespoon of olive oil and the sherry vinegar. Season with sea salt and black pepper to taste. Toss gently to combine all the ingredients.
Step 7
Once the bread slices are toasted, remove them from the oven and let them cool slightly.
Step 8
Spoon the tomato mixture evenly onto each slice of bread, allowing the juices to soak slightly into the crunchy bread.
Step 9
Serve immediately as an appetizer or snack, garnished with additional basil or cilantro if desired.
