Tomato Bruschetta with Toasted Baguette

Bruschetta on Baguette

Hey wisefoodies Steph here,

One of the best things about being Australian is the huge range of cuisines and foods we have available. I can't imagine not being able to have Chinese, Indian, Thai, Japanese or Italian whenever I wanted to! Today I was raiding the pantry, then the fridge, then back to the pantry again trying to find something to eat and came up with one of my favourite things to make for breakfast or lunch ever- Italian Bruschetta.

We always have tomatoes in the house and Dad always buys Baguette's for his lunch from our local Patisserie, so making this is always easy. It's really simple and super quick to make, and the Balsamic Vinegar makes it so tangy and OH so tasty!

TIME: 10 Minutes
CALORIES: 102

Here's what you need:

• 2 cloves garlic
• 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
• 2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
• 1/4 cup fresh basil leaves chopped finely
• Pinch salt
• Black pepper
• 2 tomatoes
• 1 Baguette

Here's how you make it:

1. Mix garlic, olive oil, vinegar, basil, salt and pepper together in a bowl.
2. Meanwhile boil tomatoes for 1 minutes just to soften, then cut them up into small cubes then add to the mixture
3. Cut baguette into smaller pieces diagonally and grill them.
4. Spoon the bruschetta on to the baguette pieces. And Voila!

NOTE: You can also add finely chopped red onion if you wish. When serving I like to drizzle a bit of olive oil on the bread before I spoon the bruschetta on!
