Farmer's Market Bruschetta

It doesn't get any better or more summery than this. A-M-A-Z-I-N-G.

What you need:
A few heirloom tomatoes (choose several different varieties and colors)
A little olive oil
Some fresh garlic, crushed or sliced, depending on your methods (see below)
Some fresh basil, ribboned
A nice loaf of bread (I like ciabatta, but you choose your favorite), sliced

What you need to do:
1. Either steep the garlic in the oil and brush it on the sliced bread, or, if you worry about food poisoning, just brush the oil on the bread, then cut the garlic cloves in half and rub them on the bread. Toast or grill the bread until crunchy.
2. Chop your tomatoes into small chunks. Mix them with a drizzle of olive oil, salt, pepper, and basil to taste.
3. Cram as many tomatoes on each toast as you can and EAT.

  1. I live on this all summer long...I add cheese from time to time as well, mozzarella-parmesan-provolone, they are all good!
