Tomato Basil Bruschetta

On Julie & Julia, she makes the most amazing looking bruschetta... so Jessie and I made some last night. I'm obsessed with it! I don't even like tomatoes, but this is so good! I'll be eating it all summer. 
4-5 tomatoes
clove of garlic, minced
1 Tbsp olive oil
1 tsp balsamic vinegar
6-8 fresh basil leaves, chopped
salt and pepper to taste
baguette or sourdough loaf
3 tbsp olive oil

1) Parboil the tomatoes for one minute in boiling water that has just been removed from the burner. Drain. Dice.
2) Add tomatoes, garlic, 1 Tbsp olive oil, vinegar, basil, salt & pepper to a bowl and mix with spoon.
3) In a large skillet, heat 3 tbsp olive oil. Place sliced sourdough pieces in hot oil and brown on each side until crispy.
4) Top with tomato mixture.  eat up!
