Simple Bruschetta

When you need to make a last-minute appetizer, you can't go wrong with this easy bruschetta. This is the simplest recipe that you can make with  few fresh ingredients.  I made this over the week end and both my kids loved it.   Try to use a good extra virgin olive oil and some fresh basil leaves.

Ingredients:

French bread - 1 loaf (Sliced)

Plum tomatoes - 4 (Finely chopped)

Fresh basil - 5 leaves (Thinly sliced)

Shredded Parmesan cheese - 4 TBSP

Extra Virgin Olive Oil - 1/4 cup

Salt - 1/4 tsp

Pepper - 1/4 tsp

Procedure:

In a bowl, mix all the ingredients except the bread.  Let it stand for 15 minutes.  Before serving, toast the bread for 5 minutes or until it's crispy.  Spread the tomato mix on the bread.  If you like, you can sprinkle some black pepper on top.  Serve immediately.
