BRUSCHETTA

Remember on Julie and Julia when Julie made the bruschetta and the world's mouth watered? On occasion I have to make it and relish in the goodness.

Sliced French bread
Tomato
Basil
Garlic
Olive oil
Butter
Salt
Pepper

I start by heating the butter and garlic in a skillet. Once it is hot, fry slices of bread on both sides until golden brown and crunchy.

Dice the tomato and chiffonade the basil. Combine tomatoes and basil with a drizzle of olive oil, salt and pepper to taste. Top toasts with tomato mixture and enjoy.
