Ingredients

  • 1 small baguette
  • 1 pint cherry tomatoes, diced
  • 3 garlic cloves, grated
  • 5 fresh basil leaves, chopped (or 1 tsp dried basil)
  • 2 tbsp olive oil, plus more for the bread
  • 1 tbsp balsamic vinegar
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • Grated Parmesan cheese (about 2 tbsp, plus more for topping)

Instructions

  • In a medium bowl, combine the diced tomatoes, grated garlic, olive oil, balsamic vinegar, salt and pepper, basil, and about 2 tbsp Parmesan. Stir and let sit while you toast the bread.
  • Slice the baguette and heat a large skillet over medium heat.
  • Add a little olive oil and cook the baguette slices on both sides until crispy, about 2 to 3 minutes per side.
  • Spoon the tomato mixture onto each crostini.
  • Top with extra Parmesan if you like, and serve right away.

Notes

Best made in peak tomato season. Let the tomato mixture sit 10 to 15 minutes so the flavors meld. Pairs perfectly with an Aperol spritz.
