Bruchetta

baguette sliced length-wise horizontally
fresh ripe tomatoes
basil leaves, fresh, chopped
1 large clove garlic, cut in half
Extra virgin olive oil

Broil the sliced side of baguette until light to golden brown.
Rub the toasted side with cut garlic clove, while the bread is still
warm.
Drizzle lightly with olive oil over the garlic rub, and sprinkle with
chopped basil.
Slice very ripe plum tomatoes and place slices the length of the
baguette.
Top tomatoes with grated parmesan.
Return bread to broiler until parmesan starts to brown.

Good warm, or cold.
