Bruschetta with Balsamic Reduction Drizzle
Serves: 16

Ingredients

• 1 Baguette
• 2 oz. Olive oil
• 6 DULCINEA™ Rosso Bruno Premium Vine-Fresh Tomatoes, thinly sliced
• 6 oz. Balsamic vinegar
• 1/2 T. Black pepper, freshly ground
• 1/2 c. Fresh Basil leaves, thinly sliced

Preparation

• Preheat oven to 350°F.
• Slice baguette, arrange slices on sheet tray and brush with olive oil.
• Bake until lightly toasted, about 10 minutes.
• While the baguette slices are toasting, reduce the Balsamic vinegar by heating it over medium heat in a non-reactive saucepan, simmering until it has reduced by half.
• Transfer liquid to a heat-proof liquid measuring cup (measuring approximately 3 ounces). Set aside and allow to cool.
• Allow the toasted baguette to cool, and then top each slice with 2 tomato slices.
• Sprinkle with black pepper and thin strips of fresh basil.
• Immediately before serving, drizzle with Balsamic vinegar reduction.
