Bruschetta
Carrie M.
Classic Bruschetta is an easy favorite of my family's. My father loves to make this and still uses this recipe years after we first started to use it.
- 8 Roma tomatoes seeded, finely diced
- 3 Garlic cloves finely chopped and
- 3 Garlic cloves left whole
- 5 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
- 2 tbsp Balsamic vinegar
- 3 tbsp fresh basil finely chopped
- ¾ tsp salt
- ½ tsp pepper
- 1 baguette 2 1/2-3 inches in diameter, cut in about 20 slices
In a large bowl, add the tomatoes, chopped garlic (keep whole cloves for later), olive oil, vinegar, basil, salt and pepper.
Stir the ingredients until well-mixed and let them rest at room temperature while you toast the bread.
When slices are cool, rub with whole cloves of garlic.
Top with tomato mixture.
