Tomato Garlic Basil Bake

 

If we've eaten a large midday meal, not much is needed for supper. I brought in the last of our garden tomatoes a couple of weeks ago and they've been ripening nicely on trays. This tomato-garlic-basil mixture, spooned onto slices of fresh focaccia bread more than satisfied us one evening last week. You could toast the bread and place the mixture on top, or let guests/family spoon on for themselves. Either way, it's easy and delicious.

Tomato Garlic Basil Bake

Ripe tomatoes, cut into 1/2 inch dice, about 2 cups

2-3 large cloves garlic, minced 

1 Tablespoon fresh basil, finely sliced

1 Tablespoon olive oil

1 Tablespoon balsamic vinegar

1/4 - 1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese

Fresh basil to top

Place tomatoes, garlic, basil, olive oil, and balsamic vinegar in a shallow baking dish. Stir just to combine. 

Bake at 400 degrees for 15-20 minutes or until bubbly. Sprinkle the feta cheese on top, then return to the oven for about 5 minutes.

Serve with more fresh basil sprinkled on top.
