Any Time of the Year Bruschetta
Any Time of the Year Bruschetta is just what the doctor ordered to get me through these cold, winter days. Okay, to get YOU through them because I’m in sunny Arizona, but I feel for all of you that are suffering through the crazy cold and snow that is blanketing the US and Canada right now.
What I love about this recipe is that there are tasty cherry tomatoes available all year long so when you simply need a taste of summer, this is the recipe!
A few simple ingredients will have a quick and easy appetizer on the table in no time! Enjoy!
Simply combine quartered cherry tomatoes with a dressing of olive oil, balsamic vinegar, garlic and salt & pepper. Mix it all together and add some slivered basil leaves.
To serve, place a scoop of the tomato mixture on crostini, sprinkle parmesan cheese and toasted pine nuts over and then drizzle with balsamic glaze.
