How to Make Bruschetta?

I have found this to be the easiest way to make a delicious and fresh bruschetta! The kids will love making this dish too because it is easy and includes simple ingredients. First, slice the baguette into 1 inch pieces. Next, drizzle with olive oil and bake or toast for 5 minutes. 

While the baguette slices are cooking, you can slice up the tomatoes into 1/4 inch pieces and saute in olive oil and garlic for 3 minutes. 

Remove from heat and add basil and salt. Stir and then spoon onto each slice of baguette. 

Not only is this a fun recipe for the kids to make, but it also looks beautiful for a holiday party.
