Bruschetta

Ingredients
1 french baguette, preferrably home made
2 cups of diced tomatoes, I used sweet 100, and yellow pear
4 Tb of extra virgin olive oil
2 gloves of garlic
3 Tb of fresh basil, chopped
2 cloves of garlic
salt and pepper

Method

• Slice the baguette on the bias, into 15 to 20 slices depending on its size
• Preheat oven to 400 F. Brush bread slices with 2 Tb olive oil and bake for 5 to 8 minutes, until toasty and starting to brown.
• Remove from oven, cut garlic in half and rub on bread while hot. Cool on a cooling rack.
• Mix tomatoes, with basil, rest of olive oil and salt and freshly ground black pepper.
• Before serving, top toast with tomato mixture. Remember this is as good as your bread and tomatoes, so I suggest either homemade or artisan bread and heirloom tomatoes from the garden.
