Best Ever Bruschetta

sofie-a-toast's Note:

I went through a major bruschetta phase and tried many many recipes until I found the perfect one. This was originally Guy Fieri's but is slightly adapted to my taste after making it about a billion times. Cookingt time is marinating time.

• Total Time: 25 mins
• Prep Time: 10 mins
• Cook Time: 15 mins

Ingredients:

Servings: 4

• 1 baguette, cut in half length-wise and toasted
• 2 teaspoons minced garlic (I use the kind in a jar)
• 3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
• 1/4 cup grated parmesan cheese
• 2 1/2 cups minced roma tomatoes (cut so fine its almost a paste)
• 1/3 cup thinly sliced fresh basil leaf
• 2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon fresh ground pepper

Directions:

1. In a medium mixing bowl, add the tomatoes, garlic, basil, vinegar, olive oil, cheese, salt and pepper.
2. Mix thoroughly and let sit for at least 15 minutes at room temperature to let the flavors marinate.
3. Slice the bread into individual pieces and spoon the mixture on top.

YUM! This is very similar to the recipe I usually use (which I couldn't find). This is great as is, but I do a couple of things differently: I add about 1/2 cup parmesan, and another 1/2-1 cup mozzarella, and then put on bread in the oven at 350 for about 10 mins. It's cheesy, tomato-ey, bubbly and delicious!
