4 cups diced ripe tomatoes
3 cloves garlic, minced
0.5 cup fresh basil leaves, chopped
3 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
1 tbsp balsamic glaze Shop
0.5 tsp salt
0.25 tsp black pepper
1 loaf gluten-free baguette or artisan bread, sliced 1/2-inch thick Shop
2 tbsp olive oil, for brushing bread

Instructions

1 Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Arrange the sliced gluten-free baguette on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring the slices do not overlap.
2 Lightly brush the tops of the gluten-free bread slices with the 2 tablespoons of olive oil. Toast in the preheated oven for about 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the bread is crisp to the touch.
3 While the bread is toasting, prepare the bruschetta topping. In a medium bowl, combine the diced ripe tomatoes, minced garlic, chopped fresh basil, and 3 tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil. Stir gently to combine all the fresh ingredients.
4 Season the tomato mixture with salt and black pepper to taste. Drizzle in the balsamic glaze and stir once more, allowing the flavors to meld for at least 5 minutes while the bread finishes toasting.
5 Once the gluten-free bread is toasted to your liking, remove it from the oven. Spoon a generous amount of the fresh tomato mixture onto each toasted slice. Serve immediately to enjoy the contrast of warm, crisp bread and cool, flavorful topping.

Tips & Notes

Drain the diced tomatoes in a sieve for 10 minutes so the topping doesn't soak the toast.
Rub a cut garlic clove over the warm toast for extra garlic flavor.
Top the toast just before serving. Gluten-free bread softens quickly under the tomatoes.
