Bruschetta
October 25, 2012
This was quick to throw together; I had a few hours of cleaning to do so I was able to marinate it a bit. However, with these flavors, it would set up really quickly if you only had an hour.
Sorry about the lack of pictures!
Ingredients:
Let marinate in the refrigerator for 1-2 hours. Remove from fridge, stir it up, and drain most of the juice.
Place the bruschetta in a serving bowl and serve with bagel crisps or toast pieces. Bagel crisps work well to hold up big yummy bites of the bruschetta!

I was scrambling recently for an appetizer to take to a party and had very little time to throw something together. I looked in my kitchen and all I had were tomatoes and garlic and I had so many things going on, I didn’t have any time to get to the store. And when life hands you tomatoes and garlic, you make Bruschetta…I think that’s the saying.
Bruschetta is one of those forgotten appetizers, I think. But every single time I have it, I absolutely love it!

Ingredients:
6 med/large tomatoes (I had heirlooms from my garden, but Romas or any other variety would work very well); chopped and deseeded.
¼ cup balsamic vinegar
¼ cup extra virgin olive oil
¼ cup chopped fresh basil leaves (very important to use fresh!)
3 med garlic cloves, minced
Salt & Pepper, to taste
Preparation:
In a bowl, mix all of the ingredients together. Add salt and pepper to taste – I sprinkled a little bit of salt and a bunch of fresh cracked pepper.
Let marinate in the refrigerator for 1-2 hours. Remove from fridge, stir it up, and drain most of the juice.
Place the bruschetta in a serving bowl and serve with bagel crisps or toast pieces. Bagel crisps work well to hold up big yummy bites of the bruschetta!
