Balsamic and Basil Bruschetta

Ingredients:

  • 1 pound tomatoes, diced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tbsp minced fresh parsley
  • 3 tbsp chopped fresh basil
  • 2 tbsp balsamic vinegar
  • 1/4 cup olive oil
  • 1 baguette, sliced
  • olive oil for brushing bread
  • extra garlic for rubbing bread (optional)
  • Parmesan cheese (optional)

Preparation:

Gently toss together the tomatoes, garlic, parsley, basil, vinegar and olive oil and allow to marinate for at least 30 minutes.

Pre-heat oven to 400 degrees.

Slice a large garlic clove in half and rub on each side of the bread (this step is optional). Brush the sliced bread with olive oil on both sides and place on a baking sheet. Bake for just a few minutes, until bread is lightly toasted.

Top each slice of bread with a spoonful of the tomato mixture, and sprinkle with freshly grated Parmesan cheese if desired.
