Classic Bruschetta

Ingredients

4 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil

2 cloves garlic, thinly sliced

4 large tomatoes, diced 

1/4 cup thinly sliced basil

2 tbsp balsamic vinegar 

1 tsp kosher salt

Pinch of crushed red pepper flakes

1 large baguette 

Extra-virgin olive oil, for brushing 

2 cloves garlic, halved 

Directions

Make marinated tomatoes: Preheat oven to 400°F. In a medium skillet over medium-low heat, heat oil. Add garlic and cook until lightly golden, 2 to 4 minutes, then remove from heat and let cool.

In a large bowl, toss together tomatoes, basil, vinegar, salt and red pepper flakes. Add garlic and oil and toss to combine. Let marinate for 30 minutes. 

Meanwhile, toast bread: Brush bread on both sides lightly with oil and place on large baking sheet. Toast bread until golden, 10 to 15 minutes, turning halfway through. Let bread cool for 5 minutes, then rub tops of bread with halved garlic cloves. 

Spoon tomatoes on top of bread just before serving.
