Bruschetta Made Easy

Bruschetta 

My favorite Italian appetizer is bruschetta. It takes all of 5 minutes to prepare and is super tasty and light.  

What you will need:  
1 french baguette 
olive oil & balsamic to taste
2 garlic cloves
1 container of cherry tomatoes 
Fresh basil 

Cut tiny cherry tomatoes into halves
Take about 5-7 basil leaves and and roll them into a tube
Cut down the middle while still holding them in a roll
Then slice into small pieces

In small bowl add sliced tomatoes, basil, and 2 crushed garlic cloves 
Drizzle with olive oil and balsamic vinegar
Put in fridge for 10-15 minutes to accentuate flavor  

Slice Bread into thin 1/3 inch pieces 
Lightly cover with butter ( I prefer to use the non dairy vegetable butter)
Sprinkle with garlic powder
Bake on HI for 3 minutes depending on your oven  (watch very carefully-bread burns easily on bake)
Put one small scoop of tomatoes and basil onto each piece of bread and serve:)

Happy Cooking!

XOXO,
Bri
