Main Ingredients

4 - 6 large Twisted River Farm tomatoes

1 - 2 cloves garlic, minced

4 tbsp olive oil

2 tbsp balsamic vinegar

1 tbsp Italian seasoning

1/2 tsp salt

1 large baguette

Balsamic glaze

Fresh basil, as desired

Recipe Steps

  1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Spray a baking sheet and set aside.

  2. Wash and core tomatoes. Cut tomatoes into 4-6 pieces depending on the size and place into a bowl. Drizzle with olive oil, balsamic vinegar, salt, garlic, and Italian seasoning. Toss to coat.

  3. Place tomatoes on a baking sheet and place in the oven on the middle rack for 20-25 minutes.

  4. While tomatoes are roasting, slice baguette bread and toast in the oven for about 5 -10 minutes on the top rack until just lightly browned. Set aside.

  5. After 20-25 minutes of roasting tomatoes pull out of the oven and toss. Add them back into the oven on the top rack for about 5 minutes.

  6. Once tomatoes are roasted and bread is toasted, spoon the warm tomato bruschetta onto a baguette and drizzle with balsamic glaze. Top with fresh basil ribbons as desired!

Recipe Steps

  1. In a medium skillet, place the tomatoes and olive oil over medium high heat. Season with salt and pepper. Give the mixture a stir to combine.

  2. Once the oil starts to get hot, and the tomatoes start to blister, reduce the heat to medium and let simmer for roughly 30 minutes. Stirring every 10 minutes.
