Ingredients
  

4 large ripe tomatoes

1 cup fresh corn kernels (about 2 ears of corn)

1 small red onion, finely chopped

2 cloves garlic, minced

1 teaspoon smoked paprika

1 teaspoon olive oil

Salt and pepper to taste

1 cup crumbled feta cheese (or dairy-free alternative)

1/4 cup fresh basil leaves, chopped

1 French baguette or ciabatta loaf, sliced

Balsamic glaze for drizzling (optional)

Instructions
 

Fire-Roast the Tomatoes: Preheat a grill or open flame. Place the tomatoes directly over the heat, turning occasionally until the skins blister and char (about 5-7 minutes). Remove and let them cool slightly, then peel off the skins and roughly chop.

    Cook the Corn: In a skillet over medium heat, add the olive oil and diced red onion. Sauté for about 5 minutes until translucent. Add the minced garlic and smoked paprika, cooking for an additional minute until fragrant. Stir in the fresh corn kernels and cook for another 3-4 minutes until just tender.

      Combine Ingredients: In a mixing bowl, combine the fire-roasted tomatoes, sautéed corn mixture, and chopped basil. Season the mixture with salt and pepper to taste.

        Prepare the Toast: Preheat your oven's broiler. Arrange the sliced baguette on a baking sheet. Lightly brush or drizzle with olive oil and place under the broiler for 1-2 minutes until lightly toasted. Keep a close eye to avoid burning.

          Assemble the Toasties: Remove the toasted bread from the oven. Spoon the tomato and corn mixture generously onto each slice. Sprinkle crumbled feta cheese on top (if using). Return to the broiler for another 2-3 minutes until the cheese is just soft and the edges of the bread are crispy.

            Serve: Transfer the toasties to a serving platter, drizzle with balsamic glaze if desired, and garnish with extra fresh basil. Serve warm for a delightful appetizer or snack.
