Instructions
- 1. Heat the oven to 400°F and line a sheet pan with parchment paper.
- 2. Toss the tomatoes with extra virgin olive oil, kosher salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and balsamic vinegar.
- 3. Spread the tomatoes on the sheet pan and roast for 20 to 25 minutes, until softened and lightly caramelized at the edges.
- 4. While the tomatoes roast, arrange the baguette slices on a second sheet pan and toast them in the oven for 6 to 8 minutes, flipping once, until crisp and lightly golden.
- 5. Rub the warm toast with the peeled garlic clove for a light garlic finish.
- 6. In a bowl, gently combine the roasted tomatoes, chopped red onion, sliced basil, and Basil Infused Olive Oil.
- 7. Spoon the tomato mixture onto the toasted bread.
- 8. Finish with Parmesan cheese and serve right away while the toast is still crisp.
Notes
Best served soon after assembling so the bread stays crisp. If making ahead, roast the tomatoes and toast the bread separately, then assemble just before serving. The Basil Infused Olive Oil ties the whole dish together with a fresh herb finish.
