Bruschetta is such a great summer dish. I love making it with homegrown tomatoes and basil. This past week I was visiting a friend and we made dinner at home, starting with bruschetta as an appetizer. He was impressed with how easy it was to make, and I'm happy to finally share the recipe online here.
This takes about 10 minutes to prep, and can easily be altered to make more or less.
Ingredients:
4 slices of fresh bread, preferably something with a nice crust
1/2 c tomatoes, diced
2 sprigs fresh basil, finely chopped
1 clove garlic, minced
2 T olive oil
salt, to taste
Chop garlic, tomatoes, and basil and mix in a bowl. Add salt to taste. Let sit at least 30 minutes, until all the flavors are blended. Slice the bread, top with spoonfuls of tomatoes, and toast in a toaster oven or roast in the oven, until the bread is browned and crunchy. Drizzle with olive oil and serve.
