Bruschetta

Bruschetta is one of my favorite things to make, its simple, fast, and so delicious.

Ingredients 
Serves 4 people 

1. 2-3 tomatoes depending on the size 
2. 2 loaves of french bread 
3. Fresh basil leaves
4. 1 tablespoon of finely minced onions
5. 1 clove of garlic
6. Balsamic vinegar
7. Olive oil 

Directions

1. Slice and dice up your tomatoes 

2. Finely mince a clove of garlic. Some recipes rub the bread with the garlic but I like adding it to the actual bruschetta mixture.

3. Add in the finely minced onions. It's really important that you mince it as finely as you can because a huge chunk of onion would be quite unpleasant!

4. Roll up your leaves into a tight bundle then slice thinly (saw this on cooking shows hehe)

5. Add to the mixture

6. Pour in balsamic vinegar and olive oil. Start by adding a little, mixing, tasting, then adjusting the flavors.

7. It's ok if its a little watery, when you spoon the mixture along with the juices onto the crusty bread, you will be happy it has all this extra moisture. Yum. You can prepare this an hour or two before dinner time and put it in the fridge so all the flavors have time to come together. 

8. Get your two loaves and slice it so that there is a good amount of surface area. If the bread is sliced too small the tomatoes will be falling all over the place when you try to shove it in your mouth!

9. I like to toast the bread until they are a bit browner than I would usually like. But this is perfect for bruschetta because as I mention before there is a lot of delicious juices from the tomato mixture that will seep into the bread so the extra crunchy will be perfect. Enjoy!
