Bruschetta

Every mothers day my Aunt has a lobster dinner to celebrate my cousin's birthday, and to get all of her family and friends all together. This year she asked me to make an appetizer for this dinner, and I decided to make one of my favorite appetizers. I love Bruschetta because it is so simple yet so delicious. So if you make this recipe just letting you know this is supposed to feed 15 people or more for appetizers. This dish also reminds me of my childhood when I would go to my friend's house and her mom was Italian so she would make bruschetta for us as a snack sometimes. So I hope you enjoy this simple recipe as much as I do. 

Ingredients:

5 Tomatoes

2 Cloves Garlic

4 Basil Leaves (chiffonade)

1-Tablespoon Olive Oil

1 Teaspoon lemon juice

1 baguette

¼ cup olive oil (to brush onto bread)

First pre heat the oven to 375 degrees fahrenheit, and or on broil. Then cut up the tomatoes and garlic and add into a bowl, drain out the water from the tomatoes to make sure the mixture isn't to watery. Then add the 1 tablespoon of olive oil, lemon juice and the basil.  Next mix until combined.

 Cut the baguette and put onto a sheet tray with aluminum foil. Brush the baguette with half of the 1/4 cup olive oil. Put into the oven until brown and flip over and brush with olive oil on the next side. Put into the oven until golden brown. Then top the bread with the tomato mixture and enjoy!
