Ingredients

Servings:2
  • 1 loaf Sourdough bread loaf, sliced into 1-inch rounds
  • 6 medium Vine-ripened Roma tomatoes, diced
  • 1/2 cup Fresh basil leaves, chiffonade
  • 1/4 cup Extra virgin olive oil
  • 2 cloves Garlic cloves, peeled and halved
  • 2 tablespoons Balsamic glaze(optional)
  • 1 teaspoon Kosher salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon Black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon Minced garlic (for the tomato mixture)

Instructions

  1. 1

    In a medium bowl, combine the diced tomatoes, minced garlic, fresh basil, salt, and pepper.

  2. 2

    Drizzle 2 tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil over the tomato mixture and toss gently to combine.

  3. 3

    Let the tomato mixture sit at room temperature for 15-20 minutes to allow the flavors to marry.

  4. 4

    Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) or heat a grill pan over medium-high heat.

  5. 5

    Brush both sides of the sourdough slices with the remaining olive oil and toast until golden brown and crisp.

  6. 6

    While the bread is still warm, rub the cut side of the halved garlic cloves across the surface of each slice.

  7. 7

    Spoon a generous amount of the tomato mixture onto each toasted slice, ensuring you get some of the juices.

  8. 8

    Drizzle with balsamic glaze if desired and serve immediately while the bread is still crunchy.
