Easy BruchetteIngredients (use vegan versions): 1/4 to 1/2 onion, finely diced
1 large tomato, diced (may use canned diced tomatoes, drained, in a pinch)
1 tablespoon dried basil (can use 3-4 fresh leaves)
splash balsamic vinegar (little goes a long way)
1 teaspoon olive oil (really need olive oil, not vegetable oil)
French, Italian, or other crusty bread (vegan)
1 clove garlic, minced (I do use the bottled variety, tastes just fine)
nonstick cooking spray
Directions:Slice the bread into about 6 nice and thick slices (slicing on the diagonal is nice) and place on a foil-lined (easy cleanup) cookie sheet. Spray the top side of the bread with Pam (makes it nice and crunchy). Broil for about 4 minutes--DONT leave unattended--burns very quickly--no need to turn bread over.
While toasting bread, combine all other ingredients in a medium sized bowl and set aside.
Remove bread from oven when golden brown. May rub exposed edge of a whole garlic clove, sliced in half, over bread for flavor if desired before you mince the garlic and add to bowl of tomato/onion mixture. Place bread on a platter and spoon tomato/onion mixture over pieces.
Very yummy and very easy. Enjoy!
Serves: 6
Preparation time: 15-20 min.
mmm... I love this, but instead of using Pam (? whatever it is) I drizzle a little extra-virgin olive oil over the bread, before I grill it.
