Nicole's Bruschetta-Great with fresh garden tomatoes!
Ingredients:
EVOO
3-4 tomatoes (more if you use Romas)
basil (fresh, about 10 leaves or dry, about 1 T.)
1-2 t minced garlic
crumbled feta cheese
salt & pepper
loaf French bread
Dice tomatoes and toss in a bowl. Add basil, garlic, and generous dash of salt & pepper. Add EVOO to about half the volume of tomatoes. Let marinate for at least 20 minutes.
Slice bread into 1 inch thick rounds. Drizzle with EVOO and toast 4-5 minutes in 400 degree oven. Take toasts out, add generous spoonfuls of the tomato mixture and crumbled cheese. I like to add a grind of fresh pepper over the tops and another light EVOO drizzle. Bake 7 minutes or so, or until cheese starts to turn golden.
Options: substitute another type of cheese to your liking, add sliced kalamata olives, add a half tsp of crushed red pepper, add garlic wine vinegar or whatever you like.
