Directions

1

For The Bruchetta:
2

Mix together tomatoes, basil, garlic, and cheese.
3

drizzle olive oil and vingar over the tomato mixture. You don't want to skimp but you don't want to go over board either. For 3 cups of tomato mixture I would reccomend about a cup of liquid. Appx 3/4 cup of oil and a 1/4c of vinigar but this is just an estimate. Go by your own preference.
4

Stir the ingredients.Taste it and add more oil, vinigar, as needed. You can also ad a little garlic salt if you think it needs salt.
5

For The Garlic Toast:
6

Cut the bread slices in half so they are snack sized (if you used italian bread. If you use french bread the slices should be perfect sized).
7

Spread slices on a broiler pan, drizzle w/ olive oil, sprinkle with garlic powder, parsley, and a touch of paprika. Put under the broiler untli toasted but not burned.
