Ingredients:

• 1 large loaf French bread
• 2-3 large tomatoes
• 1 large onion
• 5-6 sundried tomatoes packed in oil
• Olive oil
• 1 clove garlic (or to taste)
• Fresh mozzarella, can use low-fat  

Method

Chop tomatoes, garlic and onion. Saute onion and garlic in olive oil until slightly tender. Add 5-6 chopped tomatoes and saute for 2-3 more minutes then set mixture aside. Using a sharp bread knife, make thin slices French bread cutting at an angle. Cut thin slices of mozzarella. Using a paper towel, oil a cookie sheet with olive oil. Arrange bread slices on sheet. Add tomato mixture to bread. Cover mixture with one slice mozzarella. Drizzle with olive oil. Bake 10-15 minutes in 400 degree oven or until cheese is melted and bubbly.

Notes: According to all my research, this Garden Bruschetta is a perfect food choice. Tomatoes, garlic and olive oil provide a range of health benefits. The mozzarella adds a bit calcium and protein. More importantly, it tastes great. I serve this weekly at my house and my entire family loves it as a snack, appetizer or meal.

Number of servings: 4-5
