Bruschetta

1 carton heirloom tomatoes, diced

fresh mozzerella cheese

1 french baguette

3 tablespoons olive oil

8 fresh basil leaves, chopped

1/4 teaspoon pepper, more to taste

1/2 teaspoon salt, more to taste

1 small garlic clove

_______________________________

1. Set oven to broil. Slice half of the baguette into 8-10 pieces. Place bread onto a baking pan lined with aluminum foil. Drizzle each piece with a little bit of olive oil.

2. Mix tomatoes, olive oil, garlic, salt and pepper into a small mixing bowl and set aside.

3. Slive mozzerella in 1/4 inch pieces. They should be about the same size as the bread. Place cheese on top of bread. Sprinkle with a little salt and pepper.

4. Broil the bread and cheese in the oven for about 4-5 minutes, until cheese is just starting to melt. Add basil to tomato mixture and toss.

5. Remove bread pieces from oven and top with tomato and basil mixture. Place back into the oven for 2-3 minutes.

6. Remove and enjoy! I made these for dinner last night with a light salad. It was a perfect way to start a very busy week!!
