Bruschetta

Made these wonderful appetizer over the summer , in fact it was so good who knows how many times i made them . Everything was on season , tomatoes was cheap , basil was grown in my own garden , the taste was so delicious , and not to mention it was so easy to make . Although i make my own french bread , but if you’re short in time , just grab the baquette from the store and you’ll have these snack / appetizers in minutes !
