Bruschetta is one of my all time favorite appetizers. This is a great recipe for times when you have bread that is turning a bit hard, or when you have one too many tomatoes on hand. It is quick and easy to make. You can be creative and change the recipe to you liking. Try adding peppers or red onion to this recipe.
Bruschetta is wonderful for any occasion, anytime of year when you are serving appetizers. In the summer when there is an abundance of tomatoes in the garden, we love to experiment and satiate our deep craving for delectable goodness.

Instructions
-
Add diced tomatoes, olive oil, garlic, balsamic vinegar, salt, and chopped basil together in a small bowl. Mix well
Place butter in a small microwavable dish and cook for 30-45 seconds or until just melted
Slice baguettes into 1/2 inch pieces and brush each piece with melted butter
Arrange slices on a cookie sheet and cook for about 5 minutes on each side
Arrange the bread on your serving platter and add basil leaf (optional) to each piece of bread
Scoop a small teaspoon onto each piece of bread covering each piece evenly and top with shaved parmesan cheese
Recipe Notes
If you do not have baguettes on hand, you can use any bread available. You will need to cut the bread into small circular pieces, just be sure to adjust oven time for the bread you are using. You want the bread to slightly brown on each side.
