Bruschetta

The best meal I have anywhere and I always assumed it was such a difficult thing to make.
Guess what, it is so simple.

What you'll need is

• 10 ripe plum tomatoes diced-- be sure to remove the seeds
• 1/2 fresh onion diced
• 4 cloves fresh garlic minced
• 1 bunch coarsely chopped basil
• 4 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
• 2 tablespoons of balsamic vinegar
• sea salt and fresh ground pepper
• Italian bread or baguette

For some extra kick add a teaspoon of lemon juice, freshly squeezed is preferred but juice works fine.
You could also add some goat cheese or some feta cheeser.

Start by setting your oven to 475.

In a medium bowl mix together the tomatoes, onions, garlic, olive oil, balsamic vinegar, salt and ground pepper. At this point if you choose to add the  lemon juice,  goat cheese and/or feta cheese add it now too. Set this to the side.

Take your baguette and slice it into small slices, about 1-inch. Sprinkle the tops with olive oil. Now place in the oven and remove when the slices begin to turn golden brown. Keep an eye on your bread, it will take seconds for the bread to burn! 

Let the bread cool, and now to the previously mixed tomato mixture add the basil and mix again.

When serving you could either keep the tomato mixture beside the bread, or serve the mix directly on top of the bread. If you were to serve it on top of the bread I would recommend doing it just before serving, so the bread doesn't get soggy.

Enjoy!
