Makeup Time

Kiera was waiting around for me to get done with work and this is how she passed the time....think we might have another makeup artist in the works??


Double Tomato Bruschetta

Made this while my mom was in town and we all LOVED it. Was my try at a good bruschetta and have to say, I won't really be looking further. It was DELICIOUS! Only difference I made was instead of using shredded mozzarella I used fresh mozzarella slices and placed it between the bread and tomato bits and skipped step 5.

Yummo!


Makes 12 servings

  • 6 roma (plum) tomatoes, chopped
  • 1/2 cup sun-dried tomatoes, packed in oil
  • 3 cloves minced garlic
  • 1/4 cup olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
  • 1/4 cup fresh basil, stems removed
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 1 French baguette
  • 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese

Directions

  1. Preheat the oven on broiler setting.
  2. In a large bowl, combine the roma tomatoes, sun-dried tomatoes, garlic, olive oil, vinegar, basil, salt, and pepper. Allow the mixture to sit for 10 minutes.
  3. Cut the baguette into 3/4-inch slices. On a baking sheet, arrange the baguette slices in a single layer. Broil for 1 to 2 minutes, until slightly brown.
  4. Divide the tomato mixture evenly over the baguette slices. Top the slices with mozzarella cheese.
  5. Broil for 5 minutes, or until the cheese is melted.
