Party Bruschetta Recipes

Steps:

• In a small bowl, combine the first seven ingredients. In another bowl, whisk the oil, vinegars and pepper sauce; stir into tomato mixture. , Place bread slices on an ungreased baking sheet. Broil 3-4 in. from the heat for 1-2 minutes or until golden brown. With a slotted spoon, top each slice with tomato mixture. Sprinkle with cheese.

Steps:

• Slice baguette into 1/2" slices on an angle.
• Pour olive oil into a shallow bowl, like a small cereal bowl.
• Dip each slice into the olive oil and place on a cookie sheet.
• Holding your hand very high, dust a tiny amount of kosher salt over the bruschetta. (Better to skip this step then to do too much. I would skip this step also if you only have regular table salt.).
• Cut the roma tomatoes in quarters and remove all of the seeds. Then dice them into 1/4" pieces.
• Sprinkle the diced tomato on the bruschetta. There should be no more than 4-5 pieces of tomato on each.
• Put no more than 2-3 pieces of basil on each bruschetta.
• Dust each piece with shredded parmesan cheese if desired.
• Broil for just a minute or two, watching carefully. They can go from just right to burnt in a flash!
