Bruschetta!

Oh! One of my favorite things! I made a good one last weekend and then we made another batch the next morning to have with egg whites, sauteed mushrooms, and a little chopped green onion. Yum!

6-8 medium sized tomatoes chopped
1 medium red onion chopped
12-16 medium-large chopped basil leaves(you can leave these a little big in the chopping)
3 tsp. chopped Italian parsley(as small as you can!)
Extra Virgin Olive Oil
Balsamic Vinegar
Salt and Pepper

1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees.

2. Throw the tomatoes, red onion, basil and parsley in a large mixing bowl add in the EVOO, Balsamic Vinegar and salt and pepper to taste. THAT'S IT! Will keep for a day or so.

3. Cut the baguette and place the pieces flat on a baking sheet. Let them bake for 4-5mins and then flip them for another 4-5mins(I like to use salad tongs to flip them). Place the pieces in a bowl or dish next to the bruschetta or pre-arrange them if they are going to be eaten right away.

*Also, you can cube some mozzarella in there too!
