Bruschetta

By Lorraine

The scent and the flavor of fresh basil shouts summer to me.
These little Bruschetta bites pack a lot for flavor and are easy and quick to make.

 

Bruschetta with Tomato and Basil

Bruschetta

 
PRINT RECIPE
 
INGREDIENTS
  • 6 or 7 ripe plum tomatoes (about 1 1/2 lbs)
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced (I used less)
  • 1 Tbsp extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon balsamic vinegar
  • 6-8 fresh basil leaves, chopped. (used more)
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
  • 1 baguette French bread or similar Italian bread
  • olive oil for drizzling on bread slices
  • Feta cheese
 
DIRECTIONS
Preheat oven to 450°F .
 
Finely dice the tomatoes. Put tomatoes, garlic, 1 Tbsp extra virgin olive oil and vinegar in a bowl and toss. Add the chopped basil and salt and pepper to taste.
 
Slice the baguette on a diagonal about 1/2 inch thick slices and place on baking sheet. Drizzle olive oil on each slice. Toast on the top rack in your oven for a few minutes until the bread just begins to turn golden brown.
 
Spoon some tomato mixture on each slice; top with crumbled Feta cheese. Return to oven and bake just to heat through and to a nice toasted color.

    Oh I just love that you use feta, too – I'm sure that would add such a great tang to it. Bruschetta is one of my favorites for sure!
