Description
Golden-brown baked bread drizzled with olive oil and topped with chopped onions, tomatoes, minced garlic, and fresh basil. Topped with freshly grated parmesan.
Ingredients
Scale
1 freshly baked baguette
1/4 cup olive oil, divided
1 tablespoon salt, divided
1 tablespoon pepper, divided
1 tablespoon garlic
20 basil leaves, chiffonade (ribbons)
1/2 yellow onion, diced
2 roma tomatoes, diced
1/2 cup freshly grated parmesan
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 425 degrees.
- Slice the baguette into 1/2-inch slices and place on a non-stick sheet pan.
- Drizzle the slices with a generous amount of olive oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper.
- Bake bread at 425 degrees for approximately 8 minutes. Be sure to check on your bread periodically because it may cook faster or slower depending on its thickness.
- While your bread is in the oven, place the garlic, basil, onion, tomatoes, and a tablespoon of olive oil into a small mixing bowl, and stir to combine.
- Season the mixture with salt and pepper to taste.
- Remove your bread from the oven when it’s GBD (golden, brown, and delicious). The best way to check for doneness is a golden-brown color and it is hard to the touch.
- Assemble your bruschetta by placing about a tablespoon of the tomato mixture on top of a baguette slice and then top with a pinch of the parmesan cheese.
- Repeat for the remaining slices.
- Enjoy your flavorful creation!
