Tomato Bruschetta From Target Food

TOMATO AND BASIL BRUSCHETTA

Steps:

• Whisk together chopped garlic, vinegar, salt, pepper, and basil.
• When combined slowly drizzle in oil.
• Add tomatoes and let sit for 20 minutes at room temp.
• Meanwhile back at the bat cave, toast the bread.
• This can be done either in the toaster (if it's got really wide slots) or under the broiler (if using this method watch closely so it doesn't become a brickette).
• When the bread is toasted rub each piece, on one side, with the whole garlic pieces.
• Place the bread on a cookie sheet and top with tomato mixture.
• Sprinkle on a little cheese and broil till the cheese melts (you can skip that last broiling bit and it's equally as wonderful).
• Serve immediately.
• The tomato mixture also makes a wonderful vinegrette for an antipasto salad.
• Enjoy!
