Spirited Essence Works

My tomato plants have been doing good this year. Yet, once I had a ton of tomatoes, I had to figure out what to do with them. One evening last week, I had a dinner party to go to and needed to bring an appetizer. Being a working mom, I need quick and easy recipes. So, I whipped this up in a flash.

Bruschetta

Prep Time: 10 mins

Cook Time: 3-5 mins

Total Time: 15 mins

Ingredients

1 French Loaf Baguette, sliced

2 tbsp of minced garlic

Extra-virgin olive oil

6 small tomatoes, halved and seeded

20 fresh basil leaves

Salt, for taste

Directions

Preheat broiler to high. Place bread slices on a pan. Char bread on each side under hot broiler. Drizzle bread with Olive oil. Chop seeded tomatoes and place in a small bowl. Pile basil leaves on top of one another and roll into a log. Thinly slice basil into green confetti and loosely combine with tomatoes. Add a drizzle of oil, garlic,  and salt to the bowl and gently toss tomatoes and basil to coat. Place a spoonful of bruschetta on each slice of bread and serve.

Enjoy!
