Bruschetta

So I've been playing with variations of bruschetta.  Interesting......

I will post two different ones.

Is it bad form to say it was good? Dare I say....GREAT? My goodness! Both versions were pretty darn good.

Let's get with the ingredients:

2 strips of bacon
2 cloves garlic chopped
2 cups of red and/or yellow cherry tomatoes
3 tbs balsamic vinegar
2 tbs olive oil
fresh basil
Pinch or salt, pepper and sugar
Few slices of good white bread from bakery section of grocery store
Butter


So first, cut bacon into pieces and cook in a hot pan. Once bacon starts giving off its oil, add garlic and cook until tender. But take care that garlic doesn't burn 

Meanwhile, chop tomatoes and add to a bowl. Add remaining ingredients to bowl and once bacon and garlic oil cools off, put in bowl with tomatoes. Stir and place aside.

Wipe pan clean and put pat of butter in pan and melt and then toast bread  on both sides until brown..add more butter if necessary.

Top toasted bread with mixture and if you like, sprinkle some blue cheese on top and broil until cheese melts...otherwise...ENJOY!!!!!!
