Holiday Tasting Party Recipes

RECIPE NAME:  BRUSCHETTA

INGREDIENTS:
6 fresh Roma tomatoes, chopped
2 cloves fresh garlic, minced
12 to 15 fresh basil leaves, finely chopped
1/3 cup grated parmesan cheese
1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
Freshly gound pepper
Salt
French Baguette sliced in 1/2 inch slices

HOW TO MAKE THIS:
Add the first 5 ingredients into a mixing bowl.  Mix well.  Add salt and pepper to taste and mix well again to bring out the juice from the tomatoes.  Let sit about 20 minutes.

Lay slices of bread flat on a jelly roll pan.  Place under preheated broiler in oven for approximately 3 minutes.  When golden brown, turn over and broil again.  Check often as they can burn easily.

Place toast on a platter with tomato mixture in center for guests to serve themselves.
