Cooking Steps
Before starting, preheat the oven to broil. Wash and dry all produce. Peel, then finely chop shallot.Cut tomatoes into 1/4-inch pieces.Cut baguette into 1/2-inch slices.Peel, then mince or grate garlic.Roughly chop parsley.
Add tomatoes, shallots, half the parsley, balsamic glaze, balsamic vinegar and 2 tbsp oil to a medium bowl. Season with 1/4 tsp salt and 1/4 tsp pepper, then stir to combine. Set aside. Add garlic and 2 tbsp oil to a small bowl. Season with salt and pepper, then whisk to combine. Brush garlic oil evenly over baguette slices.
Transfer baguette slices to a parchment lined-baking sheet. Broil in the top of the oven until golden brown and crisp, 2-3 min. (NOTE: Keep an eye on crostini so they don't burn!)Remove crostini from the oven and set aside to cool. Heat a large non-stick pan over medium-high heat. When hot, add pine nuts to the dry pan. Toast, stirring often, until golden brown, 4-5 min. (TIP: Keep your eye on them so they don't burn!) Transfer to a plate.
When you're ready to serve, transfer crostini to a serving platter or large plate. Divide balsamic tomato mixture over top of crostini. Sprinkle toasted pine nuts and remaining parsley over top.

Review summary
Updated on Feb 2026- Flavor: Many enjoyed the bruschetta, though some found the balsamic vinaigrette too strong. Consider drizzling the balsamic glaze on top instead of mixing it in.
- Ease of prep: Toast the bread on both sides first for a better base that won't get soggy from the tomato mixture.
- Suggestions: Try adding feta or Parmesan cheese for extra flavor. Some preferred basil instead of parsley for a more traditional taste.
- Portions: This recipe makes an excellent appetizer for parties, with the pine nuts adding a special touch.
