Simple Bruschetta

When you need to make a last-minute appetizer, you can't go wrong with this easy bruschetta. This is the simplest recipe that you can make with  few fresh ingredients.  I made this over the week end and both my kids loved it.   Try to use a good extra virgin olive oil and some fresh basil leaves.


Ingredients:

French bread - 1 loaf (Sliced)
Plum tomatoes - 4 (Finely chopped)
Fresh basil - 5 leaves (Thinly sliced)
Shredded Parmesan cheese - 4 TBSP
Extra Virgin Olive Oil - 1/4 cup
Salt - 1/4 tsp
Pepper - 1/4 tsp

Procedure:

In a bowl, mix all the ingredients except the bread.  Let it stand for 15 minutes.  Before serving, toast the bread for 5 minutes or until it's crispy.  Spread the tomato mix on the bread.  If you like, you can sprinkle some black pepper on top.  Serve immediately.

  2. Bruschetta is my favorite and it's always good to make it at home because some places overload it with cheese or salt.
