Ingredients
  

  • 4-5 large tomatoes chopped
  • 1/2 red onion chopped
  • 5 fresh basil leaves chopped
  • 1/4 cup olive oil
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • balsamic glaze garnish
  • 12 slices french bread
  • 1 clove garlic minced
  • 2 tablespoons butter melted

Instructions
 

  • First, chop the tomato, red onion, and fresh basil leaves and place in a medium bowl.
  • Pour the olive oil over the fresh ingredients and add the salt.
  • Mix together well and refrigerate while you toast the bread.
  • Take the French bread and cut it into 12 slices about 1 inch each in thickness.
  • Melt the butter and stir in your minced garlic.
  • Brush both sides of the bread with the butter and garlic mixture.
  • Place in the oven at 350 degrees until both sides are a golden color. You should flip the slices at least once so both sides toast evenly.
  • Put a heavy spoonful of the tomato topping onto each slice and drizzle with balsamic glaze. Enjoy!
