bruschetta

Bruschetta with pan fried baguette and balsamic reduction:
A great party appetizer, can serve a whole lot of friends.

What you'll need:

fresh basil. a bunch.
mozarella
roma tomatos
white onion
garlic salt
baslamic vinegar
a baguette
vegetable oil
slice up the baguette into slices that are less than a half inch thick. coat a frying pan with oil, and fry both sides on medium heat. add more oil as necessary.this is honestly nice to have cut up before hand. i use roma tomatos because they are less juicy/seedy and they have more flavor. Cube the tomatos, mozarella, and white onion. The smaller the better, but don't puree them! Equal parts tomato and basil, a little less white onion. A couple pinches of garlic salt, and a good amount of basil.i want to put that in my moutthhhhhh!! finish and drizzle with baslamic reduction. which as you know, is made up of butter, olive oil, apple cider vinegar, and... what makes it brown? oh yeah, bacon fat.

kiddin. reduce baslamic vinegar in a large frying pan until it becomes syrupy. i suggest making a bunch of it and just having it in your fridge, it keeps well .

thanks for these photos, rach :)
