Let's gather the ingredients!
- 1 baguette sliced ¼-½ inch on a bias
- 2 cups tomatoes diced
- ½ cup basil chopped
- 3 cloves garlic minced
- 1 tbsp shallots finely chopped
- 1 tbsp olive oil plus more for drizzle
- 2 tbsp balsamic vinegar
- pinch salt and pepper to taste
Let's Begin!
Preheat the oven to 375°F.
Spread baguette slices on a baking sheet. Lightly drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Flip slices over and repeat.
Bake the slices for 5-7 minutes on each side until golden brown and crispy.
In a medium bowl, add the tomatoes, basil, garlic, shallot, and olive oil. Add salt and pepper to taste.
Top each crostini slice with two spoonfuls worth of tomato bruschetta mixture, just enough so it's covered and piled high, but not enough that it all falls over.
Serve immediately with a drizzle of balsamic vinegar on top, and if desired, more fresh basil for garnish.
Enjoy with family and friends!
