Bruschetta

No measurements, just whip this up with fresh ingredients!

Topping:
Tomatoes (Our cherry toms are nice and sweet)
Basil
Elephant garlic (It's mild)
Olive oil
Salt
Pepper

Chop up the tomatoes
Coarsely chop basil (leaves only)
Finely chop garlic (it remains raw, so start small and add more as needed)
Mix up the toms, basil leaves, and garlic in a bowl, and drizzle in the olive oil
Throw in some freshly ground salt and pepper

Bread:
Slice some good bread that will hold up to grilling. (I think our Maison Nord rosemary bread is perfect!) Brush each side with olive oil and toast it on the grill.  It should be a little crunchy, but not blackened.

Assembly:
Spoon topping onto the bread.

Eating:
Hunch over your plate--half the topping will fall off as soon as you take a bite. 

Variations:
Add a little balsamic vinegar to the topping, especially if the tomatoes aren't as sweet
Mix in some cheese, like fresh mozzarella
Kick up the flavor by spreading pesto on the grilled bread before adding the topping
Use yellow tomatoes or a red & yellow mix
