How to Make Bruschetta Sundae

  1. **Make the Balsamic Glaze:** In a small saucepan, combine 1/2 cup balsamic vinegar and 2 tablespoons brown sugar. Bring to a simmer over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the sugar dissolves and the mixture slightly thickens (about 5-7 minutes). Set aside to cool.
  2. **Marinate the Tomatoes:** In a medium bowl, combine 1 pint cherry or grape tomatoes, 1/4 cup olive oil, 1/4 cup chopped fresh basil, 1 clove minced garlic, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and 1/8 teaspoon black pepper. Gently toss to coat. Marinate for at least 1 hour, or up to 4 hours in the refrigerator.
  3. **Prepare the Bread:** Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Slice a baguette into 1-inch thick slices.
  4. **Brush with Garlic Oil:** Lightly brush both sides of each baguette slice with 2 tablespoons garlic-infused olive oil.
  5. **Toast the Baguette:** Quarter each baguette slice. Arrange on a baking sheet and bake for 8-10 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy.
  6. **Assemble the Sundaes:** Divide the toasted baguette cubes among 4 appetizer plates.
  7. **Combine Tomatoes and Glaze:** Drain any excess liquid from the marinated tomatoes. Add the cooled balsamic glaze and gently toss to combine.
  8. **Serve:** Divide the tomato mixture among the plates, topping each with 1 ounce of crumbled Asiago cheese and a few fresh basil leaves. For a heartier luncheon entrée, consider adding grilled chicken, shrimp, or a drizzle of pesto.
