Tomato Bruschetta on Crostini

An Italian snack built around baguette and tomatoes — on the table in 15 minutes. Each serving lands at 210 calories with 5g of protein, so it eats like a much heavier meal. Simple enough for a Tuesday, good enough to serve to guests — that is the whole idea.

Ingredients

• 4 slices Baguette
• 1 cup Tomatoes
• 1 handful Basil
• 1 clove Garlic
• 1 tbsp Olive oil

Steps

1. Heat the oven to 400°F (200°C) and slice the baguette into 4 diagonal slices about 1/2 inch thick.
2. Brush both sides of each slice lightly with olive oil and lay them on a sheet pan.
3. Bake 6 to 8 minutes, flipping once, until golden and crisp at the edges but still a little chewy in the center.
4. While the bread is still warm, rub each slice once firmly with the cut side of the garlic clove — the rough toast grabs the flavor.
5. Chop the tomatoes into small pieces and toss with the torn basil and a pinch of salt in a bowl.
6. Spoon the tomato mixture onto each crostini and finish with a thin drizzle of olive oil.
7. Serve within 20 minutes so the bread stays crisp; don't assemble ahead or the tomatoes will soak the toast.
