This bruschetta with fresh tomatoes and basil
couldn't be easier. It's a favorite that's always
on the menu when we visit the kids in Atlanta.
Telaryn doesn't follow a recipe and after
you've made if once you won't need to either.
Bruschetta (pronounced brusketta),
is a classic Italian appetizer. It's a simple
mixture of chopped fresh tomatoes,
fresh basil leaves, salt, pepper, garlic,
and olive oil. That's it! Use as many
tomatoes as you like; season them with salt
and pepper; add some minced garlic and enough
chopped basil leaves to give it color and flavor.
Drizzle it all with olive oil until it is well coated.

It's mixed up earlier in the day so that the flavors
it a nice make-ahead dish. It will last in the
refrigerator a few days. Don't know for sure
because it usually doesn't last that long with us.
Slice a baguette and brush one side with olive oil.
Toast oil-side down on a baking sheet for about 5
minutes in a 450º oven. Serve olive oil side up
topped with tomato-basil mixture.
You can garnish it with a small basil leaf
or a dollop of pesto.

I love to order bruschetta with fresh tomatoes and basil every time when we go to restaurants for having lunch or dinner. I never knew that we have to do marinating also to make this dish. You have shared really easiest way to make it, can you share some online cooking videos too for me, as it will be easy for me too.
