Ingredients

For the garlic bread

  • 1 baguette or French bread sliced
  • olive oil spray
  • 2 garlic cloves peeled

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 450°F. Line a large rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • In a large bowl, combine tomatoes, garlic, basil, red onions, olive oil, balsamic vinegar, salt and pepper; set aside.
  • Use a bread knife to slice the baguette diagonally into 1/2-inch thick slices (about 24 slices). Place on the prepared baking sheet and bake for 5-7 minutes, watching closely to not let them burn. Immediately rub the garlic on the bread slices when they come out of the oven.
  • Add the tomato mixture on top if serving immediately, or serve on the side. Top with freshly grated parmesan cheese, if desired.

Notes

Storage: Store any leftovers in an airtight container. They will last about 4-5 days in the fridge. It's best though to keep the three ingredients separated. Do not assemble until ready to serve/eat.
Substitutes: For best results, follow the recipe as is. However this is a very versatile recipe, so feel free to change type of tomatoes and bread.
