    Bruschetta with fresh tomatoes and basil

    Don't you LOVE fresh homegrown tomatoes? They are so much better than what you buy in the middle of winter at the grocery store. It's the fresh tomatoes with fresh basil that makes this appetizer so delicious. I always make extra because it always gets devoured.

    I have made this recipe for over 10 years. It's an appetizer, snack, or even lunch! I've had bruschetta for lunch for two days! I just cut the bread thin and load on the topping. Mmmmmm, heaven!

    Ingredients for bruschetta

    INGREDIENTS:

    2 ripe tomatoes, coarsely chopped
    ¼ cup sweet onion, finely chopped
    ¼ cup basil, lightly packed and chopped
    1 clove garlic, finely minced
    1 tablespoon olive oil
    2 tablespoon Parmesan cheese - optional (Feta is also a great alternative!)
    Italian or French bread.

    cut up tomatoes, basil, onions and garlic for bruschetta

    DIRECTIONS:

    After the tomatoes have been chopped, let them sit for about 5 minutes and drain the liquid.
    Mix in onion, basil, garlic and olive oil.
    Just before serving, add some of the Bruschetta mixture onto sliced bread.
    If Bruschetta mixture is cold, broil bruschetta on the bread for a minute or two to warm it up.

    Enjoy, and savor this! I had some with my spaghetti one evening then it was my lunch for the next two. I just couldn't get enough. Just cut your bread thinner if you are having two or three pieces as a meal. Then you don't eat too much bread :).
