Ingredients
- 2 cups Roma tomato diced
- 4-5 Roma tomato diced (about 2 cups
- ½ tablespoon garlic minced
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 tablespoon balsamic glaze or more to taste
- ⅓ cup basil freshly chopped
- salt to taste
- black pepper to taste
- 1 baguette sliced in half lengthwise, about 12 inches long
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- ½ tablespoon garlic minced
- ¼ cup Parmesan Cheese
- 2 tablespoons mozzarella cheese shredded, or more to your liking
- balsamic vinegar for drizzling
Instructions
- In a small mixing bowl, combine 2 cups diced Roma tomatoes, 1/2 tablespoon freshly minced garlic, 2 tablespoons olive oil, 1 tablespoon balsamic glaze, and 1/3 cup freshly chopped basil. Stir to combine and add a pinch of salt and pepper. Give it a taste and adjust the seasonings to your liking. Set aside until ready to top the toasted bread.
- Turn the oven on to high broil.
- In a small dish, combine 2 tablespoons olive oil and 1/2 tablespoon freshly minced garlic. Brush this mixture, evenly, onto each half of the baguette.
- Divide the Parmesan cheese, evenly, onto each half of the baguette and toast on the middle oven rack under the broiler for 2-3 minutes (time will vary, so be sure to keep an eye on it!) Remember to leave the oven door ajar when broiling. Remove the bread when toasted to your liking and the cheese is melted. Keep an eye on it as it will burn quickly.
- When the bread is toasted to your liking, remove it from the oven and divide the tomato mixture, evenly, on both sides of the baguette. Top each with 1 tablespoon of shredded Mozzarella cheese and place back under the broiler for about a minute or two, until the cheese is melted to your liking.
- Remove from the oven, drizzle on balsamic vinegar, slice and enjoy!
