Ingredients: Bread, Oil, Tomato
Item Description: Roasted tomatoes on a crisp white bread.
We've got a baguette, not homemade this time fortunately, that I've already had a bit of for lunch... We've got some vine tomatoes, oil, balsamic vinegar, garlic, basil, chives and hard cheese.
First we cut the bread into diagonal sloices and put them on a baking tray... its kind of a thin bread i hope we can keep the toppings on ok
Next for the oil, olive oil is probably the norm but I got this fancy lavender infused cooking oil which is very french, it might add a slight bitter floral taste but i think thatll go alright. And I've mixed that up with some crushed garlic
Now we spread the oil/garlic mix on the bread, BOTH SIDES
Now most recipes are saying you make a kind of diced tomato/etc salsa and have it raw on bruschetta... but the description clearly says "roasted tomatoes on crisp white bread"so i'm slicing the tomatoes up and roasting them in the oven on the bread! Sounds fine to me. I'm also drizzling a tiny bit of balsamic vinegar on each one.
After about 10-15mins its looking crisp and brown! I push them closer together and season with fresh chives, salt and pepper. But there's still more raw toppings to add after that!
Each slice also gets a piece of basil and some flaked hard cheese. (Like parmesan or whatever, i used grana padano again cause im cheap) This is looking really rather good!
It's a nice warm sunny day, perfect for something fresh, simple and... antipasto-y. Tastes like a gourmet garlic bread.
