Best Ever Bruschetta

By Booper-2

I went through a major bruschetta phase and tried many many recipes until I found the perfect one. This was originally Guy Fieri's but is slightly adapted to my taste after making it about a billion times. Cookingt time is marinating time.

Ingredients

• 1 baguette, cut in half length-wise and toasted
• 2 teaspoons minced garlic (I use the kind in a jar)
• 3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
• 1/4 cup grated parmesan cheese
• 2 1/2 cups minced roma tomatoes (cut so fine its almost a paste)
• 1/3 cup thinly sliced fresh basil leaf
• 2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon fresh ground pepper

Preparation

Step 1

1 In a medium mixing bowl, add the tomatoes, garlic, basil, vinegar, olive oil, cheese, salt and pepper. 2 Mix thoroughly and let sit for at least 15 minutes at room temperature to let the flavors marinate. 3 Slice the bread into individual pieces and spoon the mixture on top.
