Bruschetta

There are numerous recipes out there for bruschetta that you're welcome to try. I've found, though, that measurements don't have to be exact. You can work with what you have and it will still taste delicious. So here is the "from memory" recipe:

Bruschetta

Slice a baguette (or french bread) and toast till golden-either in toaster or on cookie sheet under broiler, turning halfway through.

In a bowl, mix chopped tomatoes, a little bit of olive oil, a little more lemon juice, herbs if desired (basil is common in this dish), salt and pepper to taste.

On a cookie sheet, top bread rounds with tomato mixture, sprinkle shredded mozzarella on top. Cook under broiler until cheese is melted. Serve and enjoy.

You can also layer whole ingredients instead of chopping--bread, basil leaf, slice of tomato marinated in lemon juice/olive oil, slice of cheese, etc.
