Warm Bruschetta

I am obsessed with this recipe. Some days if my husband won't be home for dinner, I just make this for myself and have a glass of wine with it. It's great as a side to a meal or as a appetizer. We make it a lot along steak or even just to accompany a big salad.

*2-4 tomatoes- cut into thin slices
*2-3 T EVOO
*2-3 minced garlic cloves
*around 1/4 cup italian bread crumbs
*around 1/2 cup shredded cheese (italian blend or i usually use cheddar or a colby/jack mix)
*italian seasoning
*Loaf of fresh italian or french bread- cut at angle into 1 inch slices.

Heat oven to 250. On a cookie sheet, drizzle about 2-3 T EVOO.  Dip tomato slices into oil so both sides get oil on them. Place tomatoes in single layer on cookie sheet. Sprinkle garlic over so garlic goes on and in between tomatoes. (use more or less garlic depending on how much you like garlic). Season with italian seasonings (small pinch on each tomato). Then use a medium pinch of bread crumbs on top of each tomato. Top each tomato with a large pinch of cheese. Put in oven and bake for about 10 minutes... or until cheese in melted and tomatoes are warm and soft. Place a tomato slice on a piece of cold bread.

YUM. Have a glass of red wine and enjoy!
