Ingredients
  

Bruschetta

  • 1 large tomato-diced
  • 3 tbsp basil-chopped plus extra for topping
  • 1 tbsp garlic-minced
  • 1/2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1/2 tbsp balsamic vinegar
  • flaky sea salt and pepper to taste
  • toasted bread slices

Balsamic Glaze

  • 1 cup balsamic vinegar
  • 1 tbsp sugar

Instructions
 

Bruschetta

  • In a large mixing bowl combine the diced tomatoes, basil, garlic, olive oil, balsamic, and salt and pepper to taste. Mix until incorporated.

Balsamic Glaze

  • Combine the balsamic vinegar and sugar over medium heat. Simmer until reduced by 1/2-1/3. Let it cool.

Assemble

  • Top one toasted bread slice with 1/4 cup of the bruschetta tomato mix. Sprinkle with additional flaky sea salt and fresh basil if desired. Drizzle with balsamic glaze.
  • Serve immediately. The bruschetta mix can be made ahead of time and keeps well in an airtight container for about 3 days. Only assemble when ready to serve.
