I hope my hub makes a note of this post because I want him to know that one of the last meal requests will be a slice of Bruschetta. How do I love Bruschetta? “Let me count the ways”. Bruschetta has everything I love… Bread, olive oil, tomatoes, cheese, pesto, basil and balsamic glaze.

It’s a vegetarian dish but satisfies my palate like a piece of protein. I made this dish for Father’s Day and received a thumbs up from Donald and Aaron. (No meat!)That’s a first. This recipe is so easy. Just a few simple ingredients and you will create a dish to die for. You can find balsamic glaze and pesto at your local grocer.

Ingredients:
15-18 grape tomatoes cut in half
3-4 tbs. Pesto
Balsamic glaze
Fresh basil leaves
Olive oil
Graded Parmesan cheese
2 garlic cloves sliced
6 slices of French bread cut diagonally

Directions:
Place tomatoes in a shallow dish. Salt and pepper to taste. Place sliced garlic on top of tomatoes. Drizzle with olive oil. Place in a 350 degree oven and roast until tender. Remove from oven. Place French bread on a cookie sheet. Drizzle with olive oil. Place in a 400 degree oven on broil. Toast bread until golden brown. Transfer bread to a platter. Assemble the Bruschetta beginning with cheese; add a leaf of basil, tomatoes and pesto. Drizzle with balsamic glaze serve warm.
