Bruschetta

I have never tried Bruschetta before until after I watched the Julie and Julia movie. I enjoyed the movie so much because it's  not just all about cooking. It's about lives, cultures, relationships of two different women. Never tried a French cooking before but I will definitely will try. This is surely a keeper.

Servings 16 to 20 slices

Ingredients

1 long sourdough baguette

1 1/2 pound tomatoes, seeded and diced small

2 tbsp olive oil

1 bunch basil, chopped fine

 6 cloves garlic, minced

3/4 cup Monterey Jack cheese, shredded

 pinch of Italian seasoning

Directions

1. Heat broiler. Slice baguette down the middle and brown slightly under the broiler. And take it out.
2. In a bowl, mix tomatoes, olive oil, basil, garlic and cheese.
3. Cover cut side of bread with tomato mixture. Place under broiler until the whole things begins to brown and the cheese begins to melt about 2 minutes.
4. Remove and slice into serving pieces.
