Tomato and Basil Bruschetta

Tomato and Basil Bruschetta

This is my all time favorite snack and we make it every weekend.  It is easy and quick and there are tons of different topping you can use. We also like a sweet topping made of honey and gorgonzola cheese that I will publish sometime.

Baguette
Fresh Motzarella
Roma Tomatoes
Fresh Basil (roll the leaves up and slice thinly)
salt and pepper to taste
Olive Oil
1 clove Garlic peeled

Preheat your oven to 400 degrees or you can use a toaster oven which is what I like to use it is a bit quicker and you don't have to heat the whole house up as much in the heat of the summer ( I am in Orlando and it is always hot here).

Line a baking pan with foil.
Slice the baguette on an angle and place on the baking sheet. Drizzle with olive oil and bake or toast until lightly toasted.  Remove from oven and rub the garlic clove on each slice of bread.  Top with thinly sliced tomato, sprinkle with salt and peper, then top with thinly sliced fresh motzarella cheese.

Put the baking pan back in the oven or toaster oven for a few more minutes until the cheese gets all melty. Take it out and top with the fresh basil which has been sliced.
