Backyard Blend Bruschetta

Prep 5 min          Cook 5-8 min

• ¼ French baguette crosscut into 1/2” crostini (roughly 12 pieces)

• 3 tablespoons high quality extra virgin olive oil

• 2 vine ripe tomatoes diced to ¼” (heirloom if possible) roughly 1 cup

• 3 cloves of garlic (2 smashed and peeled, 1 smashed and finely diced)

• ¼ onion finely diced

• 2 teaspoons of balsamic vinegar (optional)

• 1 tablespoon of Backyard Blend

• 2 tablespoons of chopped basil

• Salt and Pepper to taste

Preheat oven to 400 degrees

Using the 2 smashed and peeled garlic cloves rub bread slices on all sides with garlic. Place garlic rubbed bread into a large mixing bowl. Add 1 tablespoon of olive oil and a pinch of Backyard Blend to mixing bowl and toss until oil and seasoning are evenly distributed on bread. Place bread on a backing sheet and bake on middle rack for 5-8 min testing regularly until desired crunchiness. Using the same mixing bowl combine all remaining ingredients and gently mix until well-integrated and salt and pepper to taste. Place crostini on a serving platter and spoon tomato mixture onto them and serve.
