Bruscetta- Julia style....


Around these parts we love our bruscetta. We've grown accustomed to making it our own cheater way.....until now! I came across a recipe for a version that is similar to what Julia Child would've made back in the day. WAAAAAAY more decadent. WAAAAAAAAY WAAAAAAAAY WAAAAAAAAAY more decadent but also, much better as far as we're now concerned (3 foot tall family member included). The recipe is not so much a recipe as it is a method so I'll try my best to make it straight forward for you:

1 pkg cherry tomatos, chopped
1 loaf crusty bread, thinly sliced
olive oil- lots and lots of olive oil
garlic (I use pureed)
salt (kosher would work well)
a few fresh basil leaves, chopped

1) put a good glug or five in your pan and heat
2) fry the bread until golden on both sides (add more oil as needed)
3) mix the tomatos with another 5 or 10 glugs of olive oil, some basil, a tsp or so of garlic and salt. Taste it and add salt as needed. The tomatos should be glistening with oil.
4) top the toasty bread with the tomato mixture and eat it!
Yum....

Hey I watched that movie last night. My mom was up and she wanted to see it so I bought at Rogers. Not the same without you there though. :) Thanks for sharing the recipe.
