Prep Time: 0 Minutes

Cook Time: 15 Minutes

Servings: 2

To me there is nothing better than fresh tomato and basil over some good toasted bread. The perfect summer side dish!

Ingredients:

1 large tomato seeded and diced small

1 large clove of garlic finely minced (see variation for less garlic flavor)

10-20 basil leaves (depending on their size) chopped chiffonade style

1-2 tbsp parmesan depending on your liking

olive oil

6 slices of french bread or baguette

optional: balsamic vinegar

Directions:

1. Mix first four ingredients.
2. Drizzle in the oil until everything is juicy-about 1/8 c.
3. Let sit on counter while oven preheats to 400°.
4. Toast bread in oven 5-10 minutes until just crispy and lightly browned.
5. Top bread with bruschetta mixture.
6. IF DESIRED you can drizzle a little vinegar over the bruschetta for a little sweet/tangy flavor.
7. ALSO if you dont like a lot of garlic you can rub the bread with the garlic clove after it is toasted instead of adding to the tomato mixture.
