Bruschetta

Ingredients:
2 cups cherry tomatoes
1-2 garlic cloves
1tsp balsamic vinegar
1TB extra virgin olive oil
1/4 cup fresh basil leaves
Ground sea salt and pepper to taste
1 French bread or Italian bread baguette

Chop the tomatoes and basil leaves small and combine in a bowl.  Add the olive oil and balsamic vinegar, then stir in the salt and pepper.  Slice the baguette bread diagonally, 1/2 inch thick.  Brush one side with olive oil and set that side down on a baking sheet.  Heat the oven to 450 and bake for 5-6 minutes or until lightly brown. Once the bread is cool enough to handle cut the garlic cloves in halves and rub it on the toasted bread.  Put a spoon full of the tomato/basil mixture on top and Enjoy a simple Italian tradition.
