Ingredients

• 1 loaf French baguette
• 3 tablespoons Extra virgin olive oil
• 2 cloves Garlic cloves
• 4 medium Ripe tomatoes
• 10 leaves Fresh basil leaves
• 0.5 teaspoons Salt
• 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
• 2 tablespoons Balsamic glaze

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2

Slice the French baguette into 1/2-inch thick slices diagonally to create approximately 12 pieces. Arrange them on a baking sheet.

Step 3

Lightly brush one side of each slice with 2 tablespoons of olive oil. Toast them in the oven for about 8-10 minutes, or until golden brown and crisp. Remove from the oven and let cool slightly.

Step 4

While the bread is toasting, prepare the tomato topping: Dice the tomatoes into small cubes and place them into a bowl.

Step 5

Chop the fresh basil leaves finely and add them to the bowl with the tomatoes.

Step 6

Mince one garlic clove and stir it into the tomato mixture along with the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to combine.

Step 7

Once the bread slices have cooled slightly, rub the cut side of the second garlic clove gently onto the oiled side of each toasted slice for a subtle garlic infusion.

Step 8

Spoon the tomato and basil mixture generously onto each slice of toast.

Step 9

Drizzle the balsamic glaze lightly over the top of the bruschetta for a touch of sweetness and acidity.

Step 10

Serve immediately and enjoy your flavorful Shaye's Bruschetta!
