INGREDIENTS
- 3 medium-ripe tomatoes
- 2 tsp. chopped garlic
- ½ oz. fresh basil
- 2 oz. shredded parmesan
- 12 slices of baguette
- Olive oil
- Balsamic glaze
PREPARATION
Slice tomatoes in half and take out the pulp. Then cut the tomatoes lengthwise into ¼ in. strips and then dice the strips into ¼ in. pieces. Chop the basil then mix into the tomatoes with fresh garlic and salt and pepper to taste. Set aside for 30-45 minutes. Now it’s time to grill the bread. Drizzle oil on both sides of the bread then brush to cover the slice. If you have a stovetop griddle pan, heat on high and place bread in pan for about 5 minutes on each side until you have grill marks and the bread is crisp. Stir the bruschetta to incorporate all the ingredients then top each slice of bread with a tablespoon. Add shredded parmesan and finish with a drizzle of balsamic glaze.
