Sun-Dried Tomato Bruschetta
This easy finger food is packed with flavor—crispy toasted bread topped with a tangy, garlicky, herby sun-dried tomato appetizer mixture. Perfect for make-ahead appetizers for a party, girls’ night, or a fancy-but-easy snack!
Ingredients
- 1 baguette sliced into ½-inch rounds
- 1 cup sun-dried tomatoes chopped (oil-packed for best flavor)
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- ¼ cup fresh basil chopped
- ¼ cup Parmesan cheese grated
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tbsp balsamic vinegar
- Salt & pepper to taste
Instructions
Toast the Bread:
- Preheat oven to 375°F. Arrange baguette slices on a baking sheet, brush with olive oil, and toast for 8-10 minutes until golden and crisp.
Make the Tomato Topping:
- In a bowl, mix sun-dried tomatoes, garlic, basil, Parmesan, olive oil, balsamic vinegar, salt, and pepper. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed.
Assemble & Serve:
- Spoon the tomato mixture onto each toasted baguette slice. Optional: Add a drizzle of balsamic glaze or fresh mozzarella for extra deliciousness!
Notes
- Make Ahead: Prep the topping up to a day in advance and store in the fridge.
- Crispy Bread Hack: Brush slices with olive oil before toasting to prevent sogginess.
