Ingredients

  • 1 baguette, cut in half length-wise and toasted
  • 2 teaspoons minced garlic (I use the kind in a jar)
  • 3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
  • 1/4 cup grated parmesan cheese
  • 2 1/2 cups minced roma tomatoes (cut so fine its almost a paste)
  • 1/3 cup thinly sliced fresh basil leaf
  • 2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon fresh ground pepper

Method

  • In a medium mixing bowl, add the tomatoes, garlic, basil, vinegar, olive oil, cheese, salt and pepper.
  • Mix thoroughly and let sit for at least 15 minutes at room temperature to let the flavors marinate.
  • Slice the bread into individual pieces and spoon the mixture on top.
