Grilled Cherry Tomato & Bread Skewers

Place skewers in a glass of water to soak. This is to prevent them from charring on the grill.

With a bread knife, cut the baguette into chunks, about 3/4” square, or roughly the size of the tomatoes.

In a small pan, heat the olive oil in a small pan over medium heat. Add in the garlic and saute until golden brown and fragrant, about 30 seconds to 1 minute. Turn off the heat and then stir in the basil.

In a large bowl, toss the tomatoes and bread in the oil mixture. Add in 2 tablespoons of the balsamic vinegar.

Drain the skewers and thread the bread and tomatoes, alternating until the skewer is almost full.

Place skewers on the grill on medium-low heat. After 2 to 3 minutes, rotate skewers. After another 5 minutes, or when the bread is nicely toasted, remove from heat.

To cook in the broiler, set broiler to high and allow to heat. Place skewers on an ungreased baking sheet and cook for 2 minutes, remove pan and flip skewers and cook another 2 to 3 minutes until the bread is nicely toasted.
