Bruschetta & Cheese image

This twist on bruschetta is delicious. It's fresh, full of flavor and cheesy! The fresh basil adds a peppery taste and made the Test Kitchen smell amazing.

Time 4h20m

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 c very ripe tomatoes, chopped & seeded
1/2 c fresh basil, finely chopped
1/2 c vidalia onion, finely chopped
1 Tbsp olive oil, extra virgin
1 Tbsp red wine vinegar
2 tsp minced garlic [use the ready minced garlic]
1/4 tsp salt
1/4 tsp freshly gound black pepper
1/2 tsp sugar [white & granulated]
1/2 tsp Accent [optional]
1/2 c mozzarella cheese [finely shredded/whole milk]
crackers [your family's favorite or garlic bread cut into bite size pieces.

Steps:

  • 1. Mix all ingredients [except crackers/garlic bread] in medium bowl. The cheese is optional for some people but not for me. :-)
  • 2. Put in refrigerator until flavors mingle, about 4 hours.
  • 3. Spoon bruschetta onto crackers/garlic bread. The crackers/garlic bread are not an option for me because of dental problems. I sure wish I could put the bruschetta on the garlic bread. I eat mine with a spoon [that's where I got the cheese idea]. Enjoy!
