  • 1 cup good quality extra virgin olive oil
  • 1/3 cup balsamic vinegar
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder
  • ½ teaspoon dried oregano
  • ¼ teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
  • Pinch flake salt
  • 2–3 Tablespoons fresh grated Parmigiano Reggiano

Bread

  • 2 good quality baguettes, sliced

Instructions

  1. Prepare the dipping oil: In a mixing bowl, combine 1 cup of extra virgin olive oil with 1/3 cup balsamic vinegar. Stir in ½ teaspoon garlic powder, ½ teaspoon dried oregano, ¼ teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes, and a pinch of flake salt until well blended.
  2. Add the cheese topping: Sprinkle 2-3 tablespoons of freshly grated Parmigiano Reggiano over the top of the oil mixture to add a savory and rich flavor.

Notes

  • Use a good quality extra virgin olive oil for the best flavor and richness.
  • Freshly grate the Parmigiano Reggiano cheese just before serving to maximize aroma and taste.
  • You can customize the spice level by adjusting the amount of crushed red pepper flakes.
  • Serve immediately after assembling for the freshest taste, as the bread may become soggy if dipped too long.
  • Toast the baguette slices lightly if preferred for added crunch.
