1 bulb of garlic
Italian style baguette
Basil Leaves
Balsamic Reduction (from and previous recipe)
Extra Virgin Olive Oil
1/4 c Pine Nuts, toasted
Flake Sea Salt
Heat oven to 375 degrees. Peel garlic and place it in a small pan. Add just enough extra virgin olive oil to almost cover the garlic. Bring to a high simmer, then turn the heat to low. Cook the garlic over low heat until it is light to medium brown and very soft. Separate garlic from oil and set both aside. Cut baguette 1/8 inch thick slices. Place in a single layer on a sheet pan and drizzle each piece with the warm infused extra virgin olive oil, and toast in the oven until bread is toasted. Using a spoon, smash garlic cloves on each piece of baguette. Top with toasted pine nuts, chiffonade of basil, and a little flake sea salt. Drizzle with balsamic reduction and enjoy!
