Tomato Bruschetta

Ingredients:

• 1 tomato
• 2 teaspoons of olive oil (extra virgin will smell better)
• salt and pepper to taste
• 5 or 6 slices of french bread (It can be thinly sliced white sandwich bread too)
• 1 clove of garlic
• basil (optional)

How to make:

1. cut the tomato into small cubes.
2. put the tomato pieces, olive oil, salt, and pepper in a bowl and mix well. let it sit for a bit so the taste will sink in.
3. slice the bread thinly and toast the slices until golden brown.
4. cut the garlic in half and rub the cut side all over the bread.
5. place a spoonful of the mixture from step 2 onto the bread from step 4 and serve. Top it with chopped basil if you like.

Tip:

Make sure you put the tomato mixture on the bread right before you eat it.

Bruschetta means "to scorch and toast" in Italian. It's a light appetizer popular in Italy!
