Today I was sitting around the house and craving for a snack, the only bites I could find around were sweets, oeps! So... I decided to make something different, why not try out a new recipe a friend once recommended, you never know right! This easy and quick, but nevertheless super delicious recipe is made super quick. Well, let's get started! All you need is:
- Olive oil
- 4 Tomatoes
- 2 cloves of garlic
- A teaspoon full of basil
- Black pepper
- A baguette

STEP 1:
Make a little cross with your knife on the bottom of the tomatoes. Right after that, cook some water in a pan (or use a kettle; if you are don't have all the time of the world like me (J) and pour it into a pan). Therefor the skin of the tomato will detach from the fruit flesh, which makes it easier to peel of.

STEP 2:
Peel of the skin of the tomatoes, and cut each in 4 slices, just like you are opening a present. With the aid of a spoon try to get rid of the majority of the seeds.

Cut the tomatoes into little cubes, which, in the end, will fit perfectly on your slice of baguette. Put the cubes in a bowl. Besides the tomatoes add a teaspoon full of basil and a little bit of olive oil which you will need to mix well with the tomatoes. Lastly add two cloves of garlic and put those on your mixture, the mixture will extract the flavour. Cover your tapas in foil and place it into the refrigerator (for about 1 hour) to let the mixture settle down.

STEP 4:
Slice your baguette into several slices about 1,5 cm thick. Spread on either sides a little bit of olive oil in order to make it even tastier and crispier. Put it on a grill/oven/pan and let the magic happen!

DELICIOUS! It's a pity December doesn't allow for redder/riper tomatoes. I like the way you organized the ingredients. I shouldn't have read this before bed: bruschetta dreams??
