ingredients
- 3 lbs plum tomatoes, quartered,seeded,and minced fairly fine. (so they stay on the garlic bread really well!)

- Enjoy.

This really is the best bruschetta ever. I have made it many times and everyone loves it. I have made it with various kinds of onions (whatever was on hand) and used scallions instead of chives or garlic sprouts. Also I use fresh basil and fresh oregano when I can, makes a difference. I usually refrigerate overnight for best marriage of flavors. Thanks for the recipe!

I'm a single mom of an 11 year old boy. I work full-time and love to cook. My son (and his friends)love to eat my cooking. Mostly we eat seafood because we love it and it's quick to cook. I love fishing (of course) biking, hiking, gardening and reading. We have a cat, Hooligan; and yes, there is a good reason for that name.
