Fresh bruschetta

My husband, he's pretty much the best cook! Last night I walked in the door after a long day at work and he had prepared fresh bruschetta with whole wheat alfredo pasta, so-so good! I asked him if he was cool with me posting his delicious dish, he said yes, only if I talk about how super cool he is, haha!

Our friends neighbor gave them a bag of fresh veggies from their garden, but unfortunately the neighbors had no idea they were leaving for vacation that same day. So we ended up with the bag of fresh veggies, it's been a special treat! It's really hard to come across good produce around these parts of OK. It's sad after a day of having veggies (or bread) in your house they are already going bad, or molding.

This is one of our absolute favorite appetizers to make during the Summer. The key to making bruschetta is: FRESH ingredients. Normally we would head to our local farmers market to pick up these ingredients.




Ingredients:
{proportions will vary based on how tomatoes you use}


Italian  bread - cut on a bias (toast either on a panini, in oven, or toaster)
Fresh yellow & red tomatoes
Fresh Basil - (you can never over do basil)
Salt & Pepper
Olive oil (light drizzle)

Fresh Garlic - minced (minimal amount)

Fresh Onion - minced (minimal amount)
Mozzarella pearls (optional)
Balsamic - lightly drizzle over the top of your bruschetta
