Goat Cheese Bruschetta

INGREDIENTS

1. 1 beefsteak tomato, chopped
   

2. 6 roma (plum) tomatoes, chopped
   

3. 1 doz cherry tomatoes, chopped
   

4. 4 cloves minced garlic
   

5. 1/4 cup olive oil
   

6. 2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
   

7. 1/4 cup fresh basil, stems removed, chopped
   

8. 1/4 teaspoon salt
   

9. 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
   

10. 1 French baguette
    

11. 1 cup goat cheese
    

DIRECTIONS

1. 1.Preheat your oven on the broiler setting.
   

2. 2.In a large bowl, combine everything but the bread and cheese, and let it sit for at least ten minutes, the longer the better to let the flavours fuse together.
   

3. 3.Cut the baguette into 3/4 inch slices, cutting on a slight diagonal. Arrange your bread slices on a cookie sheet and place under broiler for 1-2 minutes.
   

4. 4.Remove bread from oven.
   

5. 5.Add the tomato mixture on top the toasted baguettes, and top with goat cheese.
   

6. 6.Broil for five minutes or until cheese is starting to brown at the edges. Serve warm.
   

Tip: I like to make the tomato mixture in a tupperware container so whatever I don’t use can be saved and eaten for lunch the next day, or thrown into a pasta sauce. Delizioso!
