Bruschetta is one of my all time favorite appetizers and is a perfect last minute dish for New Year’s.
I always have a small pang of jealous rage every time we go to a restaurant and everyone digs in to a delicious looking platter of gluten full bruschetta or something else that I can not have. So, not wanting to feel deprived, Renee and I have set to work to bring bruschetta back to our tables. We had tons of tomatoes in the garden so we decided to experiment.
This is a great recipe for times when you have gluten free bread that is turning a bit hard and don’t want to waste it. It is also great for when you have one too many tomatoes on hand. It is a quick and easy recipe to make. You can be creative too, try adding peppers or some red onion to the recipe.
This recipe is perfect to whip up last minute. I like to keep a couple of gluten free baguettes in my freezer, just in case we have company or I have a late night bread craving.

- Preheat oven to 350º
- Add diced tomatoes, olive oil, garlic, balsamic vinegar, salt, and chopped basil together in a small bowl. Mix well
- Place butter in a small microwavable dish and cook for 30-45 seconds or until just melted
- Slice baguettes into 1/2 inch pieces and brush each piece with melted butter
- Arrange bread slices on a cookie sheet and cook for about 5 minutes on each side
- Arrange the bread on your serving platter and add basil leaf (optional) to each piece of bread
- Scoop a small teaspoon onto each piece of bread covering each piece evenly and top with shaved parmesan cheese
If you do not have baguettes on hand, you can use any bread available. You will need to cut the bread into small circular pieces, just be sure to adjust oven time for the bread you are using. You want the bread to slightly brown on each side.
