Bruschetta Goes Global

It's really nothing more than toasted bread with tomatoes on top. On my German menu it was called a "Toastardo" but most of us know this Italian antipasto as bruschetta. It's tomato season, so now is the time to indulge in this easy yet memorable stand-alone snack, cocktail accompaniment or full-on appetizer.

Toast day-old French or Italian bread, rub with garlic and sprinkle on some olive oil. Top with chopped and drained tomatoes that have been mixed with salt, basil and even more olive oil. Call it whatever you like, but don't miss out.
