Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • 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
  • ½ tsp black pepper

Instruction

  • Turn your oven broiler to high. Line a baking sheet with foil and place the sliced baguette pieces on. Spritz the baguette slices with olive oil cooking spray (or brush with olive oil), then sprinkle with garlic powder.
  • Toast bread for a minute or two, until nice and golden. Remove from oven, flip bread over and repeat the steps above.
  • Meanwhile add the 3 tbsp of olive oil to a small skillet over medium heat. Once warm, add in the garlic and stir briefly before removing from heat. Don't burn the garlic! Place the garlic infused oil in a large bowl to let cool.
  • Once the oil is cooled, add in the diced tomatoes, onion, basil, balsamic vinegar, salt and pepper. Gently stir to combine. Serve on top of the toasted baguette slices.
