The BEST bruscetta...ever

Ok...so it may not be spelled right...or maybe it is!? But, whatever!

This stuff ROCKS!!! it's so incredibly easy and will last less than 5 minutes!!

The goods:
Fresh tomatoes
Fresh basil
Fresh garlic...do you sense a theme!?
Balsamic vinegar
Olive oil
BREAD...whatever type suits your fancy...baguettes... French loaf...or a freshly baked loaf of Squeah bread (which we used yesterday!)

Now...
Chop and grate and slice and pour and sprinkle and mix and ENJOY!

Want the specifics?
You can use whatever amounts you want to make loads or a little...but yesterday this is what I did:
* micro-grate 3 cloves of garlic
* finely chop a handful of basil leaves...approx. 15 large leaves(?)
* coarsely chop 4 tomatoes
* I threw in some red onion (maybe 1/4 C!?) yesterday but this isn't typically an ingredient that is in Bruscetta
* approx. 1 1/2 tsp each salt and pepper(but who really measures?!)
* a good glug (that's a cooking term right!?) of balsamic
* and lastly a small glug of oil

Mix and consume ASAP...or you could let it sit in the fridge for a while and have all the ingredients become close friends...but truly, it's delicious either way!!

Oh right... The bread!

Take whatever type you've chosen, slice it on an angle (or not), drizzle some oil on both sides and then bake @ 375* until golden brown.

Hope you enjoy...!
