Lindy’s Ono Recipes

There are so many variations of the delicious bruschetta. I improvised with my version of a simple one using the same ingredients as my Basil Tomatoes. Here is my recipe:

3 c chopped tomatoes (I used Grape tomatoes… bright red, firm and tasty)
1 bunch basil leaves, chiffonade and chopped
3 T olive oil
1 T minced garlic (I used the bottled ones … it’s doesn’t add that bitter taste)
1 tsp basalmic vinegar (or less to your taste)
salt and pepper to taste

After chopping the tomatoes, I let them sit for a few minutes, then I drained the excess liquid before adding the rest of the ingredients. Spoon some on the Roasted Garlic Bagel Crisps that are found at Costco. Top with mozzarella cheese. This is enjoyed just as is …no need to broil or heat.

If you’re ambitious, you can thinly slice some crusty bread, place on a baking sheet and drizzle some olive oil, salt and pepper then bake at 350 degrees for a few minutes till slightly brown and crispy.

Delizioso !!
