- 1/4 cup vegetable broth
BRUSCHETTA INGREDIENTS
- 1 1/2 cups tomatoes diced
- 3/4 cup basil fresh leaves chopped
- 3 tbsp balsamic vinegar or more to your desired taste
- 2 tbsp white wine vinegar or more to your desired taste
- 1/2 tsp Farr Better No-Salt Seasoning or sub garlic salt
- 1/4 tsp black pepper ground
PREPARE BAGUETTES
- 7 slices gluten free bread cut in quarter pieces
- 1 tbsp FBR Delightful Aromatic Italian Seasoning Blend sprinkle on baguettes
- 2 whole garlic cloves peeled
TOPPINGS
- 1 tsp dairy-free cheese sprinkle on each baguette
Instructions
STEP 1 SAUTE INGREDIENTS
- In a medium-size Non-Stick Frypan/Skillet add garlic, onions, and broth. While cooking, stir occasionally for 3-5 minutes until golden/translucent. Set aside, let it cool, and then add in mixing bowl along with the bruschetta ingredients.
STEP 2 COMBINE BRUSCHETTA INGREDIENTS
- In a medium-size mixing bowl add the bruschetta ingredients. When cool, add the sauteed ingredients to the bowl, combining all the ingredients together.
- Cover the bowl and refrigerate for an hour or two if you have the time. Otherwise, set aside and serve after you cook the toasted baguettes.
STEP 3 PREPARE BAGUETTES
- Heat oven to 350⁰ F.
- Find an allergy-friendly bread to accommodate your dietary needs. My favorite bread choice that's allergy-friendly and vegan is "Northern Bakehouse® Millet & Chia".
- If using bread, cut in half and then into 1/4's. Depending on your allergy restrictions, you can use allergy-friendly baguettes to replace the gluten-free vegan bread. Cut baguette loaf into 1/4" thick pieces. Spread pieces evenly on the Non-Toxic Baking Sheet.
- Use your favorite seasoning to sprinkle on the bread. I enjoy the FBR Delightful Aromatic Italian Seasoning Blend for this recipe. See the main recipe page for recommendations. No need for oil. It turns out delicious with just the seasoning.
- Bake in the oven for 5 minutes. Cook until golden and toasted. Rub the raw garlic pieces on the toasted pieces to enhance the flavor.
FINAL STEP
- Add bruschetta mixture on top of baguettes and enjoy right away.
- If you are serving to guests, I recommend placing baguettes around a plate with your bruschetta mixture in a separate bowl. Otherwise, baguettes get soggy right away.
