Definition according to Wikipedia!

Bruschetta is one of my family's favorite things to eat! We make it alot! With the over abundance of Tomatoes lately, we eat it 2-3 times a week. Usually for lunch. Heres my recipe!

4-5 good size tomatoes (I used Beefsteak) Diced up into small chunks

Half a small Red Onion Diced

3-4 cloves of Garlic Diced

Kosher Salt and BlackPepper to taste

2 tbl spoons olive oil

10-12 Fresh Basil Leaves Ruoghly Chopped

Mix it up and let it sit for about 30 min and let the flavors combine

The Bread

Use the kind you like.

My favorite to use is Chibatta.

We use all differnt breads! Usually whatever we have on hand

I roast about 6-8 Garlic cloves ( until they are soft, about 20-30 min)

Remove the paper and then i spread them on the bread and sprinkle some Parmesian Cheese on each piece.

Put in the oven and Broil it, till cheese is melted and bread looks crunchy.

Then I add the Bruschetta to each piece of bread and add more Parmesian cheese.

I put it on a plate and we pig out till none is left!

Another thing we make is Bruschetta chicken sandwiches! They are so yummy. Will grill chicken breasts and melt Mozzerella and add Bruschetta. They are divine!

Happy Eating!
