Best Bruschetta

Total Time: 25 mins Preparation Time: 15 mins Cook Time: 10 mins

Ingredients

• Servings: 12
• 2/3 cup olive oil (i use extra virgin)
• 4 garlic cloves, crushed (i use medium to large or 6 small)
• 2 lbs tomatoes, diced small (fresh from the garden is best, i use cherry and or or grape and or or roma or any combination from t)
• 1 baguette
• 20 leaves basil, fresh (rolled and sliced thin... 1/16-inch strips)
• feta cheese (i actually don't like feta, but it's part of the original recipe)

Recipe

• 1 combine crushed garlic and olive oil, let sit for 30 minutes.
• 2 pour garlic and olive oil over diced tomatoes, and bake at 350 for 10 minutes.
• 3 i don't drain the tomatoes, i put them in with all their juices, which can make the bread get a little juicy in the middle. i love it that way, but if you don't, drain some of the juices before adding garlic and olive oil.
• 4 broil bread to get it a little crispy and lightly browned (i have a large toaster oven and i use that).
• 5 spread tomato/oil/garlic mixture liberally on each piece of bread.
• 6 top with fresh basil.
• 7 add feta if you like.
• 8 watch it disappear before your eyes.
