Description

The addition of red onion and garlic gives this traditional meatless Italian snack a delightful bite. As pre-dinner finger foods, these slices will serve four people, although portion sizes and ingredient proportions may differ based on the size of the baguette and individual preferences.

Ingredients
  • 4 tomatoes (about 1 pounds, diced & strained)
  • 1/2 red onion (diced)
  • 1 basil leaves (handful, fresh, thinly sliced)
  • 2 garlic (minced)
  • 1 extra virgin olive oil (to taste)
  • 1 balsamic vinegar (to taste)
  • 1 Salt and pepper (to taste)
  • 1 baguette (whole grain, sliced into ¾-inch slices)
  • 1/8 cup grated parmesan cheese

    Combine tomatoes, onion, and basil in a medium bowl. Salt, balsamic vinegar, freshly ground black pepper, and olive oil can all be added. Stir thoroughly and reserve.

  2. Step 2

    Slices of baguette should be baked at 350 degrees for 3 to 5 minutes, or until the bread is only lightly toasted

  3. Step 3

    Add the tomato-onion mixture on top. If desired, sprinkle parmesan cheese over top.
