Better than bought Bruschetta




I can't believe I've never made bruschetta before. It's crazy. It's one of my all time favorite things and for some reason, I just keeping buying it. Well, no longer my friends. This recipe rocks my world. So simple and delish! Try it with french bread, on crackers, or on flatbread or pizza. The fresh tomatoes, the garlic, the basil. O.M.G.

Bruschetta

1 1/2 lbs of plum or cherry tomatoes diced(about 2 pints of cherry, or about 6 plum tomatoes depending on the size.)

6 large cloves garlic, finely minced

1-2 shallots, finely minced

1 cup fresh basil leaves, chopped

1/4 cup Olive Oil

salt and pepper

1. Chop up the tomatoes. Give the chopped tomatoes a little squeeze over the sink to get rid of some of the juice, otherwise, it's a bit to liquidy.

2. Prepare the rest of the ingredients. Toss everything in a large bowl. Season with salt and pepper (taste it! to check seasoning.)

3. Let sit at room temp for at least an hour or so if you can stand it, to let the flavors come together.

Bask in the deliciousness.
