Brushchetta

Doesn't it irk you when you go to restaurants and the most simple dishes are so expensive?! Well now you can make your own Italian Bruschetta and save some money! This is a great appetizer when you want something fresh.

Serves 6-8 people

FRESH loaf of French bread sliced
Brie cheese sliced
handful of basil
1 avocado sliced
1 box tomatoes (cherry or regular) sliced

  1. Create the balsamic reduction (thicker syrup) by bringing the balsamic vinegar to a boil then lowering the heat to a simmer.  Stir until it is slightly thickened (about 8-10 minutes).
  2. Meanwhile, put your oven on broil and put all your bread slices on a cookie sheet.
  3. Place cheese, tomatoes and avocado on bread then broil in oven for about 2-4 minutes (check every 30 seconds)
