Instructions
Balsamic Glaze
- Step 1
Pour the balsamic vinegar and brown sugar into a small saucepan. Bring the mixture to a simmer over medium-low heat. Stir constantly until the sugar is dissolved.
- Step 2
Simmer the balsamic glaze, stirring often, until it's syrupy and coats the back of a wood spoon, about 8-12 minutes. Remove the pan from the heat and let the glaze cool completely. It will thicken more as it cools.
Bruschetta Crostini
- Step 3
First, use a serrated knife to slice the tomatoes in half. If they're especially big, slice them into quarters – they should be bite-sized. Tip the tomatoes into a medium mixing bowl.
- Step 4
Add the basil, garlic, olive oil, balsamic vinegar, lemon zest, and a generous amount of salt and pepper. Stir the tomatoes well and season to taste. Cover and marinate for about 30-60 minutes.
- Step 5
Right before serving, spoon the bruschetta over the garlic crostini. Drizzle with a few spoonfuls of the balsamic glaze, to taste. Sprinkle with extra chopped basil and enjoy!
