Bruschetta is a simple appetizer which is a great starter to my daddy chicken recipe (see my earlier post 12/4/2009).
Bruschetta
Serving for 6
Ingredients
4 medium tomatoes chopped
1 tbsp fresh basil chiffonade
1 large clove of garlic
Salt and pepper to taste
1/4 cup olive oil
2 tbsp shredded Parmesan cheese (don’t use the grated Parmesan cheese on the grocery shelf near the pasta sauces and boxed pasta)
1 loaf French baguette
In a bowl combine the tomatoes, basil, garlic, olive oil, salt, and pepper. Cover and refrigerate for at least an hour.
Slice the French baguette into 1/2 inch thick slices. Place slices on a baking sheet and broil each side for 1 min until golden brown. TIP: Have your grocery baker slice your bread using their machine. One less thing to do.
Arrange the toasted bread on a serving platter. Top each slice with 1-2 tablespoon full of the bruschetta topping. Sprinkle or grate fresh Parmesan on top. Serve immediately.
Buon appetito!
yum! looks simple and delicious. might have to try this to go along with my spaghetti recipe
