BRUSCHETTA
This bruschetta has a great garlic-tomato flavor with a zing of balsamic vinegar in the mix. I settled on this ratio of ingredients after trial and error with a few other recipes. This is a really great appetizer to make ahead, which makes the flavors much more intense. (Then you just have to toast the bread.) I give instructions on blanching the tomatoes to remove the skin, but if you're short on time you can just dice them.

Steps:
- Preheat your oven on the broiler setting.
- Prepare a pot of salted boiling water to blanche the tomatoes. Fill a large bowl with ice water and set aside. Cut a cross shape in either end of the tomatoes and immerse them in the boiling water for about 10-15 seconds. Remove the tomatoes and place them in the ice water to stop the cooking. Then, peel the skin off the tomatoes and dice them.
- Combine the tomatoes, basil, garlic, onion, salt, pepper and balsamic vinegar.
- Rub the olive oil on the baguette slices with a pastry brush and place them in the oven until toasted, about 1-2 minutes.
- Pour the rest of the olive oil into the tomatoes.
- Remove the bread from the oven and rub them with garlic.
- Scoop the tomatoes onto the bread and serve.
