Serves: 6
Ingredients
2 tbsp
Georgia Olive Oil
6 cloves
garlic, minced
1/2
Sweet onion, finely chopped
2 pints
red and yellow grape tomatoes, halved
or substitute finely chopped tomatoes
Balsamic Vinegar to taste
1 tsp
sugar
1 bunch
fresh basil, separated into leaves, rolled up tightly and sliced (chiffonade)
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1
Sugar Magnolia Bakery & Café Baguette
1
whole garlic clove, peeled
4 oz
butter
Step by Step Instructions
- Heat olive oil in a medium skillet. Add garlic and onion and stir for about one minute. Pour into a mixing bowl and let cool slightly.
- Add tomatoes, a splash of balsamic vinegar, sugar and basil. Season to taste with salt & pepper. Toss to coat. If time permits, refrigerate for one hour. If not, it is fine to use immediately.
- Cut the baguette into diagonal slices. Melt half the butter in the same skillet you used for the garlic. Cook the baguette on both sides until golden brown. Rub toast with one whole garlic clove while hot. Repeat with remaining butter and bread.
- To serve, stir the tomato mixture and spoon generously over toasted baguette slices.
