Home Made Garlicky Bruschetta

There’s nothing like fresh bruschetta in our opinion. ESPECIALLY when you have fresh seasonal produce in your garden. That’s what prompted us to whip up a batch of classic chunky bruschetta. We like it with lots of garlic and lots of basil, but you can play with the ratios. Our favorite way to enjoy this amazing dip, is with a piece of our country style bread (freshly baked and buttered) topped with some brie cheese. TO DIE FOR. This is a recipe that’s great to just know (memorize it) and you’ll find yourself inventing new and custom versions of it (for example - adding peaches to this might be tasty!). Enjoy!!

Recipe serves 3-4 as an hors d’oeuvres. Makes about 2 cups.
