Bruschetta

This is an easy appetizer and when it's too hot to cook can become the main course. This is simple, easy and most importantly delicious. This is for roughly two servings just increase the amounts by the number of people you will be serving.

3 Lg. Roma Tomatoes seeded and chopped into small pieces
3 to 4 Lg cloves of garlic sliced thinly (more if you're a garlic fan like me)
2 to 3 Tablespoons of fresh roughly chopped Basil
Extra Virgin Olive Oil to taste
Kosher Salt
Freshly cracked black pepper
1 Baguette of good Italian or French bread
1 Tab. Oregano

In a medium size bowl mix the garlic, basil and tomatoes together
Add salt and pepper to your liking
Drizzle with extra virgin olive oil making certain to coat everything well yet not drowned it in the oil
Cover with plastic wrap then refrigerate for at least one hour while the flavors combine

While the tomato mixture marinates set the oven on 350 degrees
Slice the bread into 1/4 to 1/2 inch slices
Lay them on a baking sheet
Brush them liberally with olive oil
Sprinkle with Kosher salt, cracked pepper
Sprinkle on the Oregano
Pop into oven for about six to seven minutes or until the bread begins to turn golden brown around the edges
Set aside and let the bread cool completely

When ready to serve you can either spoon the tomato mixture onto the toasted baguettes or place the bowl filled with the tomato mixture surrounded by the crusty baguette slices and let your guest prepare their own.
Mangi!
