Bruschetta Appetizer

I am a foodie-  always have been, always will be.  I thought I would share with you a simple recipe that I've assembled and have enjoyed several times.  It's a quick appetizer that is super easy to prepare.  It's for bruschetta.  If you've ever had the bruschetta at Mellow Mushroom, this tastes a lot like it. First, you will need a loaf of bread.  I like to get a baguette.  I cut it in 1/4 inch slices and put the slices on a baking sheet.  I warm the slices in a 350 oven.  Three minutes each side.

While the bread is warming (not toasting), I mix up the ingredients for the topping.  I use about a dozen grape tomatoes (use whatever you have though).  I quarter the tomatoes and use a tablespoon of apple cider vinegar and a table spoon of balsamic vinegar, a dash of garlic salt, a dash of dried oregano and a pinch of sugar.  I then chop about 6 basil leaves.  Stir it all together and let it set for a couple of minutes.

When the bread is ready, place bread slices on serving plate

and top the bread with a spoonful of the tomato mixture. 

Try not to use too much of the liquid.

 Top with crumbled feta cheese.

Then, drizzle the tops with balsamic glaze. 

 It is a reduced mixture that is dark and sticky--kinda like syrup. 

Look for it in the vinegar section of the grocery store.

YUMMY!
