Tomato and Basil Bruschetta

Step 1

Whisk together chopped garlic, vinegar, salt, pepper, and basil.

Step 2

When combined slowly drizzle in oil.

Step 3

Add tomatoes and let sit for 20 minutes at room temp.

Step 4

Meanwhile back at the bat cave, toast the bread.

Step 5

This can be done either in the toaster (if it's got really wide slots) or under the broiler (if using this method watch closely so it doesn't become a brickette).

Step 6

When the bread is toasted rub each piece, on one side, with the whole garlic pieces.

Step 7

Place the bread on a cookie sheet and top with tomato mixture.

Step 8

Sprinkle on a little cheese and broil till the cheese melts (you can skip that last broiling bit and it's equally as wonderful).

Step 9

Serve immediately.

Step 10

The tomato mixture also makes a wonderful vinegrette for an antipasto salad.

Step 11

Enjoy!
