Bruschetta - Heather W.

1 long french bread loaf, the skinny one

Fresh Tomatoes

Fresh Mozzarella

Fresh Basil (Can find in Produce section)

Balsalmic Vinegar

Olive Oil (optional)

 

Cut the french bread in to 1-2" thickness slices and place on foil-lined baking sheet.  You can put a little olive oil on each slice or butter, but not necessary.  Cut the fresh Mozzarella into thin slices that will cover your bread.  Cut tomatoes also into pieces that will cover the bread.  Place under the broiler just until the bread starts to brown and the cheese is melty.  While bread is baking, cut the fresh basil into thin strips.  Remove the bread, place the fresh basil on each slice and splash a little balsamic vinegar on each piece.  (You can also mix the vinegar with a little olive oil, but this is optional).  Serve immediately.  Yum!! (You can also use dried basil, but the fresh has a lot more flavor and aroma).
