EASY BRUSCHETTA

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
• Combine tomato, basil, and red onion in a small mixing bowl; stir well. Season with freshly ground black pepper. Set aside.
• Arrange bread on a baking sheet. Place in oven, and bake until well toasted, approximately 5 minutes.

BRUSCHETTA

Steps:

• In a small skillet, heat the oil over medium-high heat. Add the garlic and stir, lightly frying for about a minute, removing before the garlic gets too brown (it can be golden). Pour the garlic and oil into a mixing bowl and allow to cool slightly.
• Add the red and yellow tomatoes, balsamic and basil to the bowl. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Toss to combine, and then taste and add more basil if needed, and more salt if needed (don't over salt, though!) Cover and refrigerate for an hour or two if you have the time.
• Cut the baguette into diagonal slices to allow for the most surface area possible. Melt 4 tablespoons of the butter in a large skillet and grill half the bread on both sides, making sure they're nice and buttery. Cook until golden brown on both sides. Repeat with the remaining 4 tablespoons butter and the other half of the bread.
• To serve, give the tomato mixture a final stir, and then spoon generously over the slices of bread. Serve on a big platter as a first course or appetizer.

BRUSCHETTA (WITH OR WITHOUT CHEESE)

Steps:

• Combine tomatoes, onion, 5 teaspoons of olive oil, salt, pepper, basil, and oregano and mix. (Use your best judgment when adding in seasonings if there's something you know you really like or don't like; don't add too much of anything, especially salt/pepper) - cool in fridge while preparing the rest.
• Combine butter or olive oil with garlic and spread evenly over the baguette. Make sure the baguette is covered right up to the edges, or else they will burn much quicker than the middle.
• Broil baguette open-faced until lightly toasted or until desired doneness.
• Add tomato and onion mixture on top.
• Slice baguette diagonally (for aesthetics) into desired size and sprinkle the basil on top, serve.
• If desired, before slicing add grated cheese on top and warm in the oven at 375 degrees until cheese melts; slice, serve, and enjoy. You may sprinkle more basil on top at this point if so desired or wait until this point to add the basil at all.
