Bruschetta
Fairly easy dinner tonight…Bruschetta! So yummy…and until I got my food processor, I used to not mind paying the $6-10 that you do at restaurants for this, cause chopping up all the ingredients yourself is a huge pain…BUT with the food processor…easy.
Ingredients include:
(Try to use organic!)
• pint of cherry tomatoes
• about 1/2 cups of fresh basil leaves
• 2 cloves of garlic
• 1 TBS extra virgin olive oil & enough to brush on the bread
• 4 slices of gourmet bread
• slices of cheese (we used sharp cheddar, but mozzarella would work too!)
• salt and pepper
Turn the oven on to 350 degrees.
Throw the tomatoes, basil leaves, garlic, olive oil and a bit of salt into the food processor. (Or if you don’t have a processor…chop those babies up…and combine!) Get the consistency of the tomatoes being about 1/8 inches thick…gets a bit watery too and that’s ok.
Brush some olive oil onto your bread on both sides. Spoon some bruschetta to cover the bread. Place some sliced cheese on top. Grind some salt and pepper on top and stick in the oven for about 10-13 minutes (or until cheese is melted and bread is toasted).
Enjoy!!!
