Avocado Bruschetta w/ Balsamic Reduction: Damn Delicious

Christmas dinner party? If you're like me you never know what to bring. The answer? Classic Onion Tomato Bruschetta with Balsamic Glaze - a great appetizer for just about any occasion!

// ingredients

5 basil leaves 1/4 tsp garlic salt

3 garlic cloves pinch of pepper - to taste

1 red onion, medium pinch of salt - to taste

2 roma tomatoes

1 cup balsamic reduction 1/2 - whole french baguette

2-1/4 olive oil

// two step recipe

1. Make the onion-tomato-basil mix. For this just just need to mix in everything together. It’s good to mix everything and keep it aside for 1-2 hours. This way the flavors really come together.

2. Toast the bread. You can do this using an oven (like I did) or use a toaster or a grill pan.

// directions

In a bowl mix together chopped onion, tomato and basil. Add olive oil, garlic salt, salt and black pepper to taste. Mix everything till well combined and then set aside for 1-2 hours. This time is important for flavors to mix-in together.

In a plate take olive oil and add minced garlic to it. Also add salt, black pepper and mix.

Dip the bread slices one by one in this oil-garlic mixture. Toast the bread in the oven at 350 F degrees for 8-10 minutes. Or you can toast on a grill/pan.

// final touches

Arrange the bread slices on serving plate. Top with the onion-tomato-basil mixture. Drizzle with balsamic glaze. Voila!
