Cherry Tomato Bruschetta

Yummy!

I love bruschetta. It's easy and tastes so good. This cherry tomato bruschetta is one of my favorite simple appetizer recipes. Everyone seems to like it since there's never any left over!

Make this for your next party. It works well as a Memorial Day appetizer, a Labor Day appetizer... or really for any kind of holiday appetizer, so make more than you think you'll need! It'll disappear quickly!

What you'll need:
- 1 small loaf semolina bread
- 2 pints (4 cups) small cherry tomatoes
- 8 Tablespoons of garlic-flavored oil
- salt and pepper (to taste)

What to do:
All you need to do for this easy appetizer recipe is first, preheat your oven to 375 degrees F. Then, cut the bread into 16 to 20 1/2-inch thick slices.

Next, place the bread slices on a cookie sheet in the oven and toast for about 5 minutes on each side, until golden in color and crisp to the touch. Remove them from the oven and place the toasted bread on platter.

Make sure you wash the tomatoes and dry well, removing any stems if they are vine-ripened tomatoes. Then, cut the cherry tomatoes in half through stem ends.

Next, heat 5 tablespoons of the oil in a 12-inch nonstick skillet over high heat. Add the tomatoes and cook, stirring often, until they are softened (should take about 5 minutes.) Add a pinch of salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste.

Finally, spoon the tomato mixture onto the toasted bread and drizzle with remaining garlic-flavored oil.

This simple appetizer recipe makes about 20 bruschetta. Serve on your favorite party platter. Enjoy!
