Recipe:Quick and Easy Bruschetta Bread

I love love love Balsamic Vinegar! It just makes everything so delicious! I threw this together one day for a light lunch. It was delicious and so very easy.

You will need: 

1 Roma tomato

Fresh Basil (2 or 3 leaves)

1 clove of Garlic

3 Slices of French bread

Balsamic Vinegar
Olive Oil

Parmasan or Feta Cheese (I used Tomato Basil Feta)

Salt & Pepper

I can't give exact measurements because I freehand everything when I cook.

First, dice your tomato and throw into a small mixing bowl.
Chop your basil and throw it in with the tomatoes. The easiest way I have found to do this without bruising the basil is to roll up the leaves together and chop from end do end, creating thin strips.
Pour over balsamic vinegar, just enough to toss and coat the tomatoes.
Sprinkle with salt and pepper, mix and let sit.
Peel the garlic. The easiest way to do this is to lay it flat and take the flat side of your knife and lay it on top of the clove, and then hit it with your hand. It will slightly mash the clove and the peel will come right off. It also opens up the garlic nicely for the next step.
Slice about 3 slices of French Bread, lay flat on a cookie sheet and gently rub the top sides with the garlic.
After rubbing the bread with the garlic, mince it and mix it into the tomatoes and balsamic.
LIGHTLY brush the bread with olive oil.

Bake the bread for about 7-10 minutes at 350. It should be warm and slightly crisped on the top.
Top the bread with your tomato/balsamic mixture and sprinkle with cheese.
And Voila! How easy is that?
