RICK'S BASIC BRUSCHETTA



Rick's Basic Bruschetta image

_**Editor's note:** The recipe and introductory text below are from Rick Tramonto's book_ [Fantastico!](http://www.ecookbooks.com/p-20589-fantastico.aspx?affiliateID=10053) This is the ultimate vehicle for any number of toppings. The quality of the bread, as well as the olive oil, makes all the difference, so make sure the crust is crisp and the middle is soft and chewy. Buy it fresh from a good bakery. This is an example of two ingredients making the difference between good and truly great. Enjoy the ride!
