Gluten-Free Italian Bruschetta Appetizers

Ingredients:

4 slices of gluten-free baguette or bread
2 ripe tomatoes, diced
2 cloves garlic, minced
1/4 cup fresh basil leaves, chopped
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 teaspoon balsamic vinegar (optional)
Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese (optional)
Balsamic glaze for drizzling (optional)

Instructions:

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Place the gluten-free bread slices on a baking sheet and toast them in the preheated oven for about 5 minutes or until they are slightly crispy.

While the bread is toasting, combine the diced tomatoes, minced garlic, chopped fresh basil, extra-virgin olive oil, and balsamic vinegar (if using) in a bowl. Season with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste.

Remove the toasted bread from the oven and let it cool slightly.

Once the bread is cool enough to handle, rub each slice with a garlic clove for added flavor.

Spoon the tomato mixture evenly onto each slice of toasted gluten-free bread.

If desired, sprinkle grated Parmesan cheese over the top of each bruschetta.

Drizzle a bit of balsamic glaze over the bruschetta for an extra layer of flavor (optional).
