TOMATO AND HERB STUFFED BAKED BRUSCHETTA

Category: Bruschetta, Crostini and Canapes

3 large tomatoes, chopped
1 onion, diced
1 Tbs chopped garlic
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp black pepper
1 tsp dried basil
1/2 tsp oregano
1 Tbs parsley
2 Tbs olive oil
2 Tbs balsamic vinegar
1 large loaf of garlic bread
2-3 C marbled Cheddar

In a bowl, mix the tomato, onion, garlic, salt, pepper, basil, oregano and parsley. Drizzle with olive oil and balsamic vinegar and toss to combine. Let sit 10 minutes, so the flavours combine.

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Split open the garlic loaf and place on a rimmed baking sheet. Top each half with the tomato mixture. Sprinkle the shredded cheese (2 or 3 C, depending on your preference) over the tomato mixture.

Bake for 20 minutes, or until tomato mixture is heated through and cheese is melted. Cut into 1 1/2 inch slices and serve.
