Roasted Cherry Tomatoes On Bruschetta With Salsa Verde Food

BEST CHERRY TOMATO BRUSCHETTA

Steps:

• In a medium serving bowl, stir together the cherry tomatoes and basil. Drizzle a teaspoon or two of olive oil over top, generously sprinkle with salt, and toss to coat. Taste and season with more salt, if needed. If desired, add a small splash of balsamic vinegar, and toss again. Cover and refrigerate until ready to serve (can be made up to 8 hours in advance).
• When ready to serve, preheat the broiler on high.
• Spread the baguette slices out over a large baking tray and use a pastry brush to brush the top of each slice with olive oil. Sprinkle the tops with sea salt.
• Broil the baguette slices for 2-4 minutes, or until golden brown and crisp on top. Then, carefully rub the top of each with the garlic (it will melt into the surface of the hot toasts).
• Serve the warm toasts alongside the tomato basil mixture.
