Bruschetta

Ingredients:
• Rustic, crusty bread (like Italian country bread or ciabatta)
• 3–4 ripe but firm tomatoes
• A handful of fresh sweet basil leaves
• 2–3 cloves garlic
• Extra virgin olive oil
• Salt and freshly ground black pepper

Instructions:
• Slice the bread about 1/2 to 1 inch thick. Toast the slices until golden and crisp.
• While the bread is still warm, gently rub one side of each slice with a peeled garlic clove.
• Chop tomatoes into small, even piecew. Remove the seeds and the watery core to avoid soggy topping.
• Tear or chiffonade the fresh basil leaves into thin strips.
• In a bowl, combine the chopped tomatoes, basil, a drizzle of olive oil, salt, and pepper. Toss gently to mix.
• Spoon the tomato and basil mixture generously onto each toasted bread slice.
• Drizzle a little extra virgin olive oil on top if desired. Serve immediately to keep the bread crisp.

Enjoy, Boo! ❤️
