Tomato Basil Bruschetta

Ingredients

8 tomatoes (ripe, Roma plum, chopped)
2 garlic clove (minced)
1/2 large onion (chopped)
6 basil leaves (fresh)
2 tablespoons olive oil (or cooking oil of your choice)
salt (optional, to taste)
black pepper (optional, to taste)
2 French bread baguette (or Italian, cut into 1/2 inch diagonal slices)

Instructions

Wash hands with soap and water.
Preheat oven to 400 °F.
Combine tomatoes, garlic, onion, basil, and olive oil in a bowl. Season with salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste (optional). Set aside.
Arrange bread on a baking sheet in a single layer. Bake about 5 to 7 minutes until it begins to brown slightly.
Remove bread from oven and transfer to a serving platter.
Serve the tomato mixture in a bowl with a serving spoon and let everyone help themselves. Or place some on each slice of bread before serving. If adding the tomato mixture yourself, add it at the last minute or the bread may become soggy.
