Ingredients
¼ French baguette crosscut into 1/2” crostini (roughly 12 pieces)
-
3 tablespoons high quality extra virgin olive oil
2 vine ripe tomatoes diced to ¼” (heirloom if possible), roughly 1 cup
3 cloves of garlic (2 smashed and peeled, 1 smashed and finely diced)
¼ onion finely diced
-
2 teaspoons of balsamic vinegar (optional)
-
1 tablespoon of Backyard Blend
2 tablespoons of chopped basil
Salt and pepper to taste
Directions
Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
Using the 2 smashed and peeled garlic cloves, rub bread slices on all sides with garlic.
Place garlic rubbed bread into a large mixing bowl. Add 1 tablespoon of olive oil and a pinch of Backyard Blend to mixing bowl and toss until oil and seasoning are evenly distributed on bread.
Place bread on a backing sheet and bake on middle rack for 5-8 min, testing regularly until desired crunchiness.
Using the same mixing bowl, combine all remaining ingredients and gently mix until well-integrated and salt and pepper to taste.
Place crostini on a serving platter and spoon tomato mixture onto them and serve.
