Tomato Bruschetta

Great appetizer and side for any Italian meal!  It is so full of tomatoey goodness, we all just love it anytime!  To make the Bruschetta you will need:
10 plum tomatoes diced
3 cloves minced garlic
3/4 cup fresh basil leaves, chopped
12 black olives, chopped finely
1 teaspoon fresh-squeezed lemon juice
1/3 cup extra-virgin olive oil
Salt and Pepper to taste (or Nature's Seasoning)
French or Italian-style bread slices
1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
1 tablespoon butter
3 cloves of minced garlic

1.)  Preheat oven to 475 degrees.
2.)  In a bowl mix together the first 7 ingredients and set aside.




3.)  In a small bowl mix together the last tablespoon olive oil, butter and minced garlic.  Microwave for 30 seconds to melt garlic and to meld the flavors.
4.)  Baste this mixture on your bread slices.  Toast the slices on each side until they are golden brown.
5.) To serve you can either put the bowl in the middle a plate with a spoon inside the bowl and the bread piled around the the bowl, or spoon the mixture on the slices and plate them.  If you do this, do not do it very far in advance as the garlic toast will get soggy!

Enjoy!  Make sure everyone eats some, this way nobody will mind the garlic smell!!!!
