🍅 Tomato Basil Bruschetta Delight 🌿  
Fresh, delicious, and perfect for family gatherings or any special occasion!  

🍽️ Ingredients 🍽️  
- 1/3 cup Parmesan cheese, grated  
- 3 cloves garlic, minced  
- 1/2 tsp crushed red pepper flakes  
- 3 cups Roma tomatoes, finely diced  
- 1 baguette, sliced  
- 3/4 cup olive oil  
- 1 tsp garlic powder  
- 2 tbsp balsamic vinegar  
- 2 tsp kosher salt  
- 1/2 cup fresh basil, chopped  
- 2 tsp black pepper  

🧑‍🍳 Directions 🧑‍🍳  
1. Combine finely diced tomatoes, minced garlic, 1/2 cup olive oil, grated Parmesan, basil, balsamic vinegar, crushed red pepper flakes, kosher salt, and black pepper in a medium bowl. Mix well, then refrigerate for 30 minutes to let the flavors meld together.  
2. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.  
3. Slice the baguette into even pieces. In a small bowl, mix the remaining olive oil with kosher salt, pepper, and garlic powder. Brush this mixture evenly onto both sides of the bread slices.  
4. Arrange the slices on your prepared baking sheet. Bake for about 6 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden and crispy. Once done, transfer the slices to a wire rack to cool slightly.  
5. Spoon the chilled tomato mixture generously onto the toasted baguette slices. Finish with a sprinkle of grated Parmesan cheese for added flavor. Serve immediately for maximum freshness and crunch!

💡 Tips and Tricks 💡  
- Use day-old bread for extra crunch! It holds up better while toasting.  
- Always serve this dish fresh; letting it sit too long can make the bread soggy.  
- Add a drizzle of extra balsamic glaze on top for an extra pop of flavor if desired.
