A simple bruschetta

final may result may not look like the shot above

For a quick and easy brushcetta, you'll need: a couple of medium-sized tomatoes (like those ones at the supermarket that come on the vine), three or four cloves of garlic, fresh basil, extra virgin olive oil, fresh mozarrella cheese, and some italian bread.

First, slice the bread into discs or rounds, or whatever -- just slice 'em. Place the discs of bread on a baking sheet and place in an oven (pre-heated to I dunno, 275?) to slowly toast.

While the bread is in the oven, seed and cut-up the tomatoes into small, chunky pieces. Put those into a bowl.

Next, saving at least one clove of garlic for later, dice the remaining cloves and toss in with the tomatoes.

Chop up the fresh basil and toss that into the bowl, too. If you bought a bundle of basil at the store, you don't need to use all of it -- eight or nine leaves should be fine.

Check the bread in the oven, and when it's slightly toasted pull out of the oven.

Being careful not to burn yourself--rub the top of each slice of bread with the clove of garlic you saved from earlier. Put the bread back into the oven.

Cut up (or break into small pieces) the mozarella cheese and toss into bowl with other ingredients. Toss all the ingredients together.

Take the bread out of the oven and drizzle the slices with the extra virgin olive oil.

Finally, spoon the ingredients from the bowl onto the bread and you're all set to get yer grub on.
