Simple Bruchetta

This is a yummy appetizer for the holidays (especially if you add fresh basil - red and green!), but I often serve this for dinner with a green salad on the side.

Simple Bruchetta

1 baguette, sliced into rounds (day old is better)
About an ounce of olive oil (I use a shot glass)

1 can petite diced tomatoes, drained
2 tablespoons parmesan cheese (grated or shredded, your call)
2 tablespoon diced sundried tomatoes
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon dried basil, or 2 tablespoons fresh basil
A couple of splashes of red wine vinegar

Preheat oven to 375. Place the baguette rounds on a cookie sheet, and brush with olive oil. Bake for 8 to 10 minutes.

While these are baking, combine remaining ingredients. Top each round with tomato mixture. Serve warm or at room temperature.
