Oooh, it makes me want to run out to the garden and pick some fresh tomatoes and whip it up right now…it’s so good and tasty. We buy the day old bread on sale from Wallyworld and use that. I just love summer and fresh veggies from the garden.
3 tsp olive oil (not Popeye’s wife)
6 slices French bread (sliced ½” thick)
1 garlic clove, cut in half lengthwise
¾ cup chopped tomato, seeds removed
1 Tbsp fresh basil, minced
1 tsp fresh parsley, minced
1 tsp red wine vinegar
¼ tsp salt
¼ tsp pepper
1-2 Tbsp parmesan cheese
Brush two tsp oil over one side of each slice of bread. Place bread on baking sheet (you can also place on grill if you don’t want to use the oven). Rub cut side of garlic over bread. Bake (or grill) at 350ยบ for 5-7 minutes until the bread is lightly browned. In the meantime, mince the garlic cloves and combine with tomato, basil, parsley, vinegar, salt, pepper and remaining oil in a small bowl. Spoon mixture over bread; sprinkle with parmesan cheese, return to grill or oven for 1-2 minutes longer. Makes a great snack or lunch or din-din … or I’m even considering breakfast.
