Bruschetta

Ingredients:

• 1 loaf Italian bread, cut into 1/2" slices
• 4 cloves garlic, sliced in half
• 1/3 C olive oil
• 3 T balsamic vinegar
• 1/8 C chopped fresh basil
• 4-5 medium ripe tomatoes, seeded, chopped, and drained
• pinch of black pepper
• Parmesan cheese, grated

Combine oil, balsamic vinegar, basil, and pepper in a large bowl and whisk together.  Add the tomatoes to the dressing and toss to coat.  Allow to marinate for 15-20 minutes.  Toast the bread slices under the broiler, then rub the cut side of the garlic on top of each slice.  Top each slice of bread with some of the tomato mixture.  Sprinkle with Parmesan cheese and return to the broiler until it melts (just a minute or two or it'll burn).
