Tomato Bruschetta!



Bruschetta is a famous Italian appetizer and one of the simplest in terms of preparation. You can either chop all the veggies or pulse them a few times in a food processor. This has become a house favorite since we started trying it recently.

Ingredients: 

1 Baguette or French bread (slice into half inch)
6 0z Cherub tomatoes (about 20 pieces, cube)
3 Tbsp virgin olive oil
1 Tbsp balsamic vinegar
1 clove garlic (minced)
1/2 tsp kosher salt
pinch of pepper
1/4 cup coarsely chopped basil leaves (discard stem)

Procedure:

Preheat oven at 350 degrees F.

  1. In a bowl mix tomatoes, olive oil, balsamic vinegar, minced garlic, kosher salt, pepper and basil leaves. Set aside.
  2. Place slices of baguette on a baking sheet and toast for about 5 minutes.
  3. Right after pulling the bread out of the oven, rub a piece of garlic on one side.
  4. Pour a tablespoon of tomato mixture on each piece.
  5. Drizzle a little of olive oil right before serving.
  6. Enjoy!
