Summertime Bruchetta

*** Once again, this recipe was found on the Internet a few years back. I do not have the source though***

This is a great recipe for Bruchetta. I love it when I have basil in our 'garden' aka flowerbeds and I can make this with fresh ingredients.

Ingredients:
  1. 4 plum tomatoes, diced
  2. 2 TBS grated Parmesan cheese
  3. 6 - 8 garlic cloves, finely minced
  4. 1/4 cup basil, minced
  5. 2 TBS Italian parsley, chopped
  6. 1TBS olive oil
  7. 1/2 TBS balsamic vinegar
  8. 1 pinch crushed red pepper
  9. 1/2 tsp salt/pepper
  10. French Bread - sliced

Directions:

Mix all ingredients (except for the french bread) and chill for 3 hours.

Before serving, grill Bread (I brush with a little olive oil first.) Top with the Bruchetta mixture.

**Chris and I like to reduce about a 1/2 cup balsamic vinegar and drizzle over the bruchetta before eating.

WARNING - You will smell like garlic :) Very garlicky!
