Share:
Ingredients
- 1 baguette I used a whole wheat baguette, French
- extra virgin olive oil for drizzling
- 2-3 cloves garlic peeled and just the very top of the cloves sliced off
- 2 tomato diced, heirloom
- leaves basil minced, fresh, several
- mozzarella cheese cut into small cubes, fresh
- in balsamic glaze but you could make your own as well, for drizzling, reduction, reference mentioned
Instructions
- Turn on broiler to HIGH.
- Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil or parchment paper and set aside.
- Chop up tomatoes, basil and mozzarella and set aside.
- Slice baguette either straight across or at an angle for a longer slice of bread. Arrange slices on prepared baking sheet and drizzle lightly with olive oil.
- Broil for a few minutes, until golden brown. Be careful, bread can burn FAST!
- When the bread is toasted, take your peeled garlic cloves and rub it all over the hot bread.
- Top with a mixture of tomatoes, basil, and mozzarella.
- Drizzle on the balsamic glaze and enjoy!
Notes
- ** To make your own balsamic glaze: Add 1 cup balsamic vinegar and a couple of tablespoons of brown sugar to a small saucepan. Stir to combine and bring to a simmer over MED-HIGH heat, then lower heat to LOW and simmer for 10-15 minutes. It's finished when the mixture is thick enough to coat the back of the spoon.
