Easy Bruschetta Recipe

Ingredients

• 16 oz baguette (cut into ½ inch slices)
• ½ tsp garlic powder
• 3 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
• 3 cloves garlic (minced)
• 4 large beef steak tomatoes (diced *see notes)
• ¼ cup purple onion (diced)
• ¼ cup basil (thinly sliced into ribbons)
• 1 tbsp balsamic vinegar
• 1 tsp salt

Method

1. Set the oven broiler to high heat.
2. Line a baking sheet with foil, arrange baguette slices on it, spray or brush with olive oil, and sprinkle with garlic powder.
3. Broil the bread for a minute or two until golden, then flip and repeat on the other side.
4. While the bread toasts, warm the olive oil in a small skillet over medium heat, add garlic, and stir briefly without letting it burn.
5. Pour the garlic-infused oil into a large bowl and let it cool.
6. Once cooled, mix in the diced tomatoes, onion, basil, balsamic vinegar, salt, and pepper.
7. Spoon the tomato mixture over the toasted baguette slices and serve.
