  1. In a bowl, combine the salt and tomatoes. Give it 20 to 30 minutes to sit. Remove the tomato juice .Include pepper, basil, and garlic; combine by gently stirring. Sprinkle with olive oil and vinegar; Gently stir to coat. Set aside at room temperature for 20 to 30 minutes.
  2. Bake at 400 degrees Fahrenheit. Olive oil should be applied to both sides of the bread. Place on a baking sheet lined with parchment. After baking for five minutes, flip the toasts and bake for another two to three minutes, or until golden brown.
  3. Brown sugar and balsamic vinegar should be combined in a small, medium-sized saucepan. Reduce to a simmer and cook for 10 minutes; stirring every so often. Let cool for a few minutes after removing from the heat.

How to make crostini

  • The baguette should be cut diagonally into 1/2-inch slices.
  • Olive oil or garlic-infused olive oil can be used to brush both sides of each slice.
  • Place on a baking sheet lined with parchment. Bake for about 5 minutes at 400 degrees. Bake the other side for an additional 2-3 minutes, or until golden brown.

Notes

  • Always use the best sun-ripened tomatoes you can find for the best flavor. I used beautiful heirloom tomatoes that I bought at the market this time.
  • Basil from the garden is the king here. You won’t be able to fully appreciate the flavor and aroma of dried basil.
  • The minced garlic is unnecessary. Every time, I like to peel and mince fresh garlic. It only takes a few minutes, but the effort is well worth it.
  • I adore this recipe when the tomatoes are seasoned with balsamic or red wine vinegar. Despite being different, they are both equally delicious.
  • Whole-grain crackers and crostini also work well, but a straightforward French baguette is ideal.
  • Refrigerate any leftovers in an airtight container.
