Basic Bruschetta

Bruschetta is kind of like a French version of nachos. In fact, you can use toasted corn or wheat tortillas with the topping recipes that follow:

Yield: 6 to 8 servings

1, 12 inch long French bread baguette, about 2½ to 3 inches in diameter (Should have crispy crust.)

1. Preheat broiler to low broil heat (if not possible, then heat to broiling temperature.) Slice bread diagonally into ¾ inch thick slices and place on cookie sheet. Place on broiler and toast until lightly browned on each side, turning after about a minute or two.
