Balsamic Bruschetta Recipe

 This is a great summer recipe with fresh Roma tomatoes.

Ingredients:

- 2-3 Roma tomatoes, finely chopped

- 1/3 cup chopped fresh basil

- 1/4 cup shredded Parmesan cheese

- 2 cloves garlic, minced

- 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar

- 1 teaspoon olive oil

- 1/4 teaspoon fresh ground pepper

- 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt

- sliced and toasted baguette bread

Directions:

In a bowl, toss together the tomatoes, basil, Parmesan cheese, and garlic. Mix in the balsamic vinegar, olive oil, kosher salt, and pepper. Serve on toasted bread slices.

Cook's Notes:

I really liked how simple this recipe is to make.  You can prepare the topping a few hours ahead of time and chill it in your refrigerator.  If you prefer not to toast the baguette slices, consider spreading goat cheese over the bread and then top it with the bruschetta mix.
