PERFECT BRUSCHETTA


 
I keep my bruschetta very simple. Just a few ingredients to amp up those tomatoes and make everything taste exactly right. No need for mozzarella. No need for a fancy balsamic reduction. No need for any special tomatoes. Just simple, delicious ingredients that combine into absolute perfection.

 

Serves: 7-10 pieces of bruschetta

 

INGREDIENTS

For the tomatoes:



  • 2 pounds of roma tomatoes (or any good, ripe tomato)

  • 2 cloves of garlic, very finely minced

  • 5 basil leaves (plus more for garnish), rolled up and sliced into thin strips

  • 2 teaspoons balsamic vinegar

  • Salt and pepper


 
 

For the bread:



  • ½ loaf of wheat french bread (about 7-10 slices)

  • Softened butter for spreading onto the bread

  • 1 clove of garlic
