🥖 Julia Childs Bruschetta Ingredients

• ½ baguette, sliced into ¼ inch pieces
• 1 garlic clove
• 2 cups tomatoes, diced (use a mixture of heirloom tomatoes, cherry tomatoes, and “on the vine” tomatoes – use your favorite!)
• 1 tablespoon basil, roughly chopped
• 1 tablespoon Parmesan, shaved and roughly chopped
• ¼ teaspoon balsamic vinegar
• ¼ cup extra virgin olive oil
• Pinch of salt, fresh ground black pepper to taste

🌮 How To Make Julia Childs Bruschetta

1. Mix the basil, Parmesan, tomatoes, balsamic vinegar, olive oil (about 1 teaspoon), salt (a pinch), and pepper (to taste) in a medium bowl.
2. Set aside for approximately 10 minutes to allow flavors to infuse as you toast the bread.
3. Spread the remaining olive oil on both sides of the baguette slices and rub each one with a clove of garlic.
4. In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat.
5. Toast the slices for approximately 3 to 4 minutes on each side in a skillet over medium heat, pushing lightly every so often to prevent them from sticking.
6. Add a little salt to the toasted slices. Top each piece with an equal amount of tomato topping. Grind some fresh black pepper and sprinkle it on top. Serve right away.
