Title: Bruschetta

rec.food.recipes archive

1 loaf french bread, the fresher the better
 6 cloves garlic
 1/4 cup olive oil, the kind with some flavor
 about 6 roma tomatoes, a.k.a. plum or italian tomatoes
 1/2 cup shredded fresh parmesan cheese
 4 teaspoons dried oregano
 2 teaspoons dried basil
 Slice the bread lengthwise once and cut each half in half the short
 way.  Process the garlic and olive oil in a mini chopper until it
 is blended (15 seconds?) and brush it on the open faces of the four
 bread pieces.  Slice the tomatoes into rounds, silver dollar thick,
 and cover the bread.  Sprinkle the oregano and basil evenly over
 the four pieces and then do the same with the cheese.  Cook on a
 cookie sheet or foil under the broiler until the cheese melts and
 the edges of the bread just start to brown (5-15 minutes, depends
 on the oven).
