You won't miss the cheese in this cheeseless bruschetta recipe if you use good quality, organic ingredients. Shop your local farmer's market for the best tomatoes you can find, fresh artisan bread, and be sure to use the best fresh basil and quality olive oil. You could try using another gourmet oil for this vegan bruschetta as well. Perhaps avocado oil or macadamia nut oil, if you happen to have some.
Ingredients:
- 3/4 cup olive oil
- 5-6 cloves garlic, minced
- 6-8 fresh tomatoes, diced
- sea salt, to taste
- 1 baguette, sliced about 3/4 inch thick
- extra olive oil for brushing bread
Preparation:
Pre-heat broiler oven.
Over medium heat, heat the garlic in olive oil for 2 to 3 minutes. Add tomatoes and allow to cook for another 5 to 7 minutes.
Brush both sides of bread with olive oil and sprinkle generously with sea salt. Place bread slices on baking sheet, and top each slice with about 1 tablespoon of tomato and garlic mixture.
Broil for 2 to 3 minutes.
