Bruschetta
Ingredients
- 4 to 6 tomatoes, diced
- 2 to 3 cloves of garlic, minced
- 15 to 20 basil leaves, torn
- ¼ cup olive oil
- Handful of Spring mix
- Grated or shaved cheese for garnish
- 2 tbsp balsamic vinegar
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Loaf of bread, sliced thinly
Instructions
- Combine the diced tomatoes, garlic, basil, olive oil, balsamic vinegar, salt & pepper in a bowl and mix well. Adjust ingredients to taste.
- Brush the sliced bread with olive oil and toss it on a hot grill. Only grill the bread for 30 seconds per side until the bread is toasted and browned. Alternatively, you can use a dry pan over high heat or even a broiler to toast the bread. No matter what you do, the bread will toast quickly. While some blackening is good, don’t over toast the bread or you might overpower the flavor.
- Top the toasted bread with the tomato mixture. Add some cheese and serve.
Check out the episode below to see the bruschetta in action. Alan returns to Addie and Steve’s house to apologize and is surprised to find his father’s protege and uncle figure, Richard Conklin. Bobert and Jo go on a date and Rose also gets surprised by someone from her past.
