Bruschetta is an appetizer whose origin dates to at least the 15th century from central Italy. The possibilities are endless when choosing your favorite topping for any Bruschetta. When I choose what would be our glorious a topped Bruschetta, I thought about the part in “Julie and Julia,” when Julie was upset and she was venting her husband while she was also frying chunks of beautiful white bread with olive oil and chopping juicy ripe tomatoes. There after, Julie and her husband were enjoying the succulent pieces of Bruschetta she made.. A while they were enjoying this beautiful creation, Julie decided to begin her food blog! So with my Julie and Julia inspired Bruschetta here is my simple and delicious recipe.
Serving for 2 as a side dish or Appetizer

4 Tablespoons Extra Virgin Olive Oil
3/4 Cup Organic Grape Tomatoes, Chopped in half
