Homemade Bruschetta
- 1 Baguette, cut into ½-inch slices
- 4 cloves garlic sliced in half length-wise
- 1/3 cup olive oil
- 3 tbsp. balsamic vinegar
- 1/8 cup chopped fresh basil
- 4-5 medium, ripe tomatoes, peeled, coarsely chopped and drained in a strainer for 20 minutes
- pinch of freshly ground black pepper
Put basil, olive oil, balsamic vinegar and pepper in a bowl. Stir together to make a dressing.
Add the chopped tomatoes to the dressing. Let sit for at least 15 minutes (or you can marinade them overnight in the fridge.)
While tomatoes are soaking, toast (about 3-4 minutes under the broiler in your oven,) bread and let cool. (If you don't feel like turning the oven on, just buy super crusty bread and it will be just as tasty!) Rub the tops of the bread with the garlic. Place the tomato mixture on top of the bread slices.
