BRUSCHETTA

I've had bruschetta before, but I've never made it, I don't know why, because it's really easy .  Basically, I bought the baguette & some fontina cheese.  I already had fresh tomatoes, red onion and basil from the garden.  A little chopping, add crushed garlic, olive oil, balsamic vinegar and a little salt & pepper and you have a delicious bruschetta topping.  Slice the baguette (why haven't I bought & eaten more of this great bread?) (oh yeah! because I would eat it all!) then toast it, I used my toaster oven.  Once lightly toasted, brush with olive oil and top with cheese.  Place it back in the oven until the cheese is melted, then remove and add the bruschetta mixture.  Many of the directions say to quickly rub a cut garlic clove over the warm toasted baguette after the first step, but I had enough garlic in my bruschetta, so I skipped this step.  Also, a word about Fontina cheese,  it melts beautifully and was a great combination for the bruschetta.  Happy eating!
