Deb's Bruscetta

Contributed By: dapgar
I made it up

I love this so much that I wanted to perfect my technique and I think I did and so does my family.

Ingredients

1 pint Grape tomatoes

4-5 Very large leaves of basil

2 cloves Garlic

1/2 cup Good olive oil

1 Shallot

1 Green onion

Kosher salt, fresh pepper

And sometimes I throw in a little Mrs Dash

For the hell of it

And some lemon juice (just a splash

Preparation

slice the tomatoes in half and then cut each side in half and then slice that in thirds so you get about six bite

size pieces out of the larger grape tomato.

Chop the shallot and garlic very fine

cut the scallion in half, removing the white bulb and slice thinly. Next roll the basil leaves and chiffonade.

Put all the ingredients in the same bowl. Sprinkle with the lemon juice and Kosher salt, fresh pepper and the Garlic and herb Mrs. Dash if you so desire.

Gently stir and add enough olive oil to cover the tomatoes. Let sit for several hours to meld flavors

Buy day old french bread and slice it thinly. Brush each side with olive oil. Place on a cookie sheet in a 350 oven for 10 minutes.

Serve with the bruscetta. ENJOY!!!!

Cook's Notes

I love this and could eat it by the spoonful. You can use this to dress spagetti in the summer for a cold sauce. I have put this on a "frozen pizza" and then baked it and it was great. You can use onion (red) but the shallot has a mild garlic flavor to it and it really makes it smooth.
