Quick Bites
This time of year, the oven is certainly not our friend. When we see the words “pre-heat,” we flip the page in the cookbook, right?
Ingredients
- 5 ripe tomatoes, chopped and seeded
- 1 cup extra virgin olive oil
- 1 bunch fresh basil (1/2 rough chopped, 1/2 reserved for garnish)
- 1/2 tbsp. Kosher salt
- 1 1/2 tbsp. freshly chopped garlic
- Fresh Parmesan cheese, thinly sliced
- 1 crusty baguette loaf, sliced on bias
Methods/steps
- In a large bowl, combine tomatoes, salt, garlic, olive oil, and the roughly-chopped basil.
- Allow the mixture to chill for 15 minutes in the refrigerator. While your topping is cooling, lightly grill your biased-cut baguette. If you don’t have a grill or griddle available, try toasting them in a sauté pan until they get brown and crispy.
- To assemble, place your baguette slices on a large plate and top with the chilled tomato mixture.
- Then place the Parmesan cheese on top and garnish with the leftover fresh basil.
