Let's Make A Meal - Bruschetta



One of my FAVORITE summer meals or appetizers is Bruschetta, especially when we are able to create it using fresh ingredients from our own garden.

My husband is the chef when it comes to Bruschetta and I have to admit he make the best I have ever had.

Steve's SECRET Bruschetta
His Secret is using garden fresh , vine ripened tomatoes.

Ingredients:

8-10 Vine ripe Tomatoes (chopped)
2-3 cloves garlic chopped
1/4 extra virgin olive oil
10-15 fresh basil leaves, chopped
kosher salt to taste
1/4 tsp pepper

Sliced cheddar or mozzarella cheese
1-2 French baguette loaves

1. Toss together your tomatoes, garlic, basil, olive oil, salt and pepper into a bowl.

2. Slice French baguette in 1" slices, place on cookie sheet. Toast in oven using the broiler.

3. Place Bruschetta mixture on top of toasted baguette along with a slice of your choice of cheese.

ENJOY!
