Ingredients

2 tablespoons Crosse & Blackwell® Capers (rinsed & drained)
5 Roma tomatoes, diced
2 cloves garlic, minced
1/3 cup Crisco® Pure Olive Oil
salt & pepper
1 22-inch long, thick baguette
1 bunch fresh basil, chopped

Directions

1. In a medium-sized bowl, stir together tomatoes, Capers, garlic, basil and 1 tablespoon oil, along with salt and pepper to taste.
2. Cover and let stand at room temperature for 30 minutes.
3. Preheat broiler or grill. Slice bread into 1/2" slices, brush with oil.

Tip

Try serving toasted bread slices on a platter with the tomato topping in a bowl so guests can top their bruschetta to taste.
