Ingredients
Scale
- 1 loaf baguette
- 4 cloves garlic
- 4 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
- 1 tbsp balsamic vinegar
- 200 g cherry tomatoes
- 2 tbsp fresh basil leaves, chopped
- 1 tsp sea salt
- 1/2 tsp freshly ground black pepper
Instructions
- Preheat your grill or grill pan to medium-high heat, setting the stage for that delicious charred flavor.
- Slice the baguette on a diagonal into 1/2-inch thick pieces.
- Whisk together minced garlic, olive oil, balsamic vinegar, sea salt, and black pepper in a small bowl.
- Brush both sides of each bread slice with half of the garlic-oil mixture.
- Grill the slices for 1-2 minutes per side until golden grill marks appear.
- Prepare the cherry tomatoes by halving them and tossing with the remaining garlic-oil mixture and chopped basil.
- Remove the bread from the grill and rub each slice with a garlic clove for extra flavor.
- Top each grilled slice with a spoonful of the tomato and basil mixture, then serve warm.
Notes
Store grilled bread separately from the tomato mixture to maintain crispiness. Best enjoyed fresh.
