Bacon, Lettuce and Tomato Bruschetta image

Don't let the simple sounding name of this brushetta fool you, it tastes fantastic and looks gourmet. I made this for cChristmas eve last year for appetiziers. It was such a huge hit, I'm making it again this year. I did a little tweaking on the recipe but, I'm doubling this recipe for Christmas this year.

Time 20m

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

8 -10 slices crisp bacon, cooked until crisp, crumbled (I used a whole package of bacon)
3 -4 roma tomatoes, seeded chopped fine
1 cup leafy greens, chopped fine (I use romaine with the veiny middle cut out)
2 tablespoons fresh basil leaves, minced
1 garlic clove, minced
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
1/3 cup olive oil
1/2 loaf French bread, cut into 1/4 inch slices

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 400°F.
  • In a bowl mix together topping ingredients set aside.
  • Brush oil on both sides of bread slices.
  • Place on baking sheet turn once, for 5-7 minutes per side until crisp and golden brown (keep a close eye on bread it takes no time to burn!).
  • When bread is golden brown remove from oven and spoon about 1 tablespoon (or more) on each toast.
  • *For best flavor DO NOT make topping ahead of time. This tastes much better if you mix the topping ingredients together just before you serve it.
  • *Also I'm just guessing the amount of servings this makes. Sorry about that--I got this recipe off the net somewhere and it didn't specify servings.
